Preview: Basel vs. Chelsea

Chelsea can book their place in the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday with a draw against Basel in Switzerland.

Jose Mourinho's side are currently three points clear at the top of Group E thanks to three victories from their opening four fixtures.

However, third-placed Basel still have a good chance of progressing as they sit one point behind second-placed Schalke 04.

The Swiss outfit caused a major upset at the start of the group campaign with a surprise 2-1 victory over the Blues at Stamford Bridge.

Fernando Torres is expected to miss out for the visitors as he is still recovering from a leg injury, while Behrang Safari and Marcelo Diaz are unavailable for the hosts.
