Champions League Draw - Liverpool & Chelsea Part II

Liverpool and Chelsea coming together for the group stages of the Champions League seemed as hitting a bollard in the middle of the road. You look to go left or right to preferably evade around it, but it seems ironic that you end up making contact nonetheless. The chances of meeting Chelsea again surely couldn't have been that great out of 31 teams but there we are. To be frank, it is as if someone fixed the draw for these two teams to meet. That's to look at it from a sarcastic view.

From a prospective view, not only is it one of the more attractive fixtures in the campaign, but it gives Chelsea the opportunity to avenge, as we did against Bayer Leverkusen, and looking at how they particularly finished off West Brom, they are set in a good position to take charge of Group G. Add to that Belgian side Anderlecht and Spain's Real Betis, who finished 2nd and 4th in their respective leagues, Group G will be a difficult group to manipulate. Less so, perhaps, for a dogged, determined Chelsea side with an equally dogged, determined manager. I'm looking forward to what the media will no doubt bill as 'Champions League - Liverpool v Chelsea - Part II'.
