| YOUR ROAR WILL LET NAPOLI KNOW THEY ARE A LONG WAY FROM HOME
This is a chance for us to show what we are capable of. We have had some brilliant European nights here at Stamford Bridge in recent years and, if we turn the tie around here tonight, this could go down as one of the great games.
We need to get off to a bright start and we will need the great atmosphere that there always is at the Bridge on these occasions. We know you supporters are going to be up for this one and that can only help us to make the most of home advantage.
We were pleased with the way we stayed patient and eventually broke Stoke down on Saturday. It was a great ball by Juan, and Didi finished brilliantly for his 100th Premier League goal, which is a phenomenal achievement.
The result was an important one for us and where we are in the league campaign - at this stage, we want to pick up three points and control games as we look to put Tottenham and Arsenal under constant pressure until the end.
The last two wins, as well as our performances in those games, showed we are on the right track, but we need to maintain that and go on a run of positive results. Stoke went down to 10 men and made it frustrating for us, so it wasn't the best game. But, believe me, when teams get behind the ball in numbers like they did, it makes it really hard for you.
Tonight will be different; we want to come out of the blocks fast and we will be looking for an early goal. Not to mention that we are at home this time and it will be intimidating for them, like it was for us there. I wouldn't want to be coming to Stamford Bridge with the results we have got here over the years and with the way our fans are on European nights.
This is what being a footballer is all about at this level - big nights, against the best teams and the best players in the big competitions. We'll be giving it everything we've got, you can be sure of that, and our experience could be key tonight. Let's make sure this isn't the last Champions League night at Stamford Bridge this season.
Come on the Chels!
