The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another set of matches this week as Bayern Munich lock horns with Enzo Maresca's Chelsea side in an important encounter at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Bayern Munich vs Chelsea Preview
Bayern Munich are currently at the top of the Bundesliga standings and have been in excellent form so far this season. The Bavarian outfit thrashed Hamburger SC by a comprehensive 5-0 margin last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the Premier League table at the moment and have also stepped up to the plate this season. The Blues were held to a disappointing 2-2 draw by Brentford in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
