Nothing Chelsea does should surprise me anymore, yet to say I’m stunned about the decision and timing of Roberto Di Matteo’s sacking is a massive understatement.  More than stunned though, I’m genuinely gutted.

Venue: Juventus Stadium Date: Tuesday 20 November Kick-off: 19:45 GMT   Here we go again then, just a couple of days to get over the defeat to West Brom in the league and it’s back to the Champions League and a must-win game away at Juventus. No pressure then!
