- Steaua's European run has come to an end and they have nothing but pride to play for, with the Romanian outfit currently sat at the foot of Group E with only 3 points to their name.
- The Blues may have already qualified, but Mourinho will be wanting his side to secure top spot and a home is the expected outcome.
