Beleagured Chelsea will look to put their domestic woes behind them tonight when they face an in-form Napoli side.

Napoli will be confident of picking up a result, having already dumped Premier League leaders Manchester City out of the group stages.

The London club's striker Daniel Sturridge believes his side have what it takes to cause an upset, despite winning just once in the last six games.

He said: "We are a family and we've got a good unit going, maybe we will see that in the next few games."

Scrutiny

With Arsenal almost certainly exiting the competition following their heavy 4-0 first leg defeat against Milan last week, Chelsea are hoping be the sole English representative left in the quarter finals.

Manager Andre Villas-Boas has come under intense scrutiny over recent weeks having collected just three Premier League points from the last 12 available.

It has been suggested that a loss over the two legs against Napoli could spell the end for the Portugese boss.

Kick-off tonight is 7:45pm.
