It's certain that Chelsea would prefer not to be travelling to the Mestalla on Wednesday night, for what is sure to be their most difficult match in Group B. The Blues are currently in a state of disarray following the departure of Jose Mourinho and will be without influential captain John Terry for this clash. It's little wonder that punters are getting stuck into the 13/10 (Paddy Power) about a Valencia win, which would leave Chelsea with just one point from their first two matches.

Avram Grant's side are also struggling for goals at the moment and Stan James make it a 5/4 chance that the drought continues on Wednesday evening. For those that think the west London team will triumph in adversity, they are 11/5 (bet direct) to repeat their victory of last season and it's 11/1 (Paddy Power) for a repeat 2-1 scoreline.

Meanwhile, Djibril Cisse will return to Anfield on Wednesday night with his new club Marseille and the French striker is 4/1 (William Hill) to score upon his return. Cisse had an indifferent spell at Liverpool and will be keen to show his true colours. The visitors are 9/1 (Paddy Power) to inflict a surprise defeat on Liverpool, although Benitez's men are sure to be well-backed at 2/5 (totesport) to claim another victory.
