Chelsea welcome an Ajax side who stunned the competition last season by reaching the Semi Final of the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Both sides are on six points in the competition with two wins and a defeat, with Chelsea taking an impressive 1-0 win at the Johan Cruyff Arena last time out.
Chelsea go into this one as favourites following that win at 21/20 with Coral, while Ajax could be tempting as 12/5 outsiders.
Frank Lampard has got his team playing well, and aside from a League Cup defeat on October 30, they’ve looked dangerous thanks to the plethora of exciting youth added to the squad.
Ajax of course are dangerous, but they’re a different beast to last season having lost a number of big players to European giants in the summer.
Chelsea have won 7 consecutive games:
? 4-2 Burnley
? 1-0 Ajax
? 1-0 Newcastle
? 4-1 Southampton
? 2-1 Lille
? 2-0 Brighton
? 7-1 Grimsby

Ajax love to play counter attack and so the heart of the Chelsea midfield and ability to break that down will be key. N’Golo Kante could be the man to do that if he’s fit, while Jorginho is also more than capable of playing that role.
Tammy Abraham has also proved a key part of the Chelsea side, with Callum Hudson-Odoi and Mason Mount offering creative flair. They’ll be looking for the goals and Abraham to score anytime and Chelsea to win could prove good value.
We expect it to be a little more open than the reverse leg, in which Lampard provided a tactical masterclass, and at 12/5 we like the look of Chelsea to win and BTTS.
