The draw for the first knockout stages of the 2014 / 2015 takes place this coming Monday. Sixteen clubs are now firmly on the road to Berlin with eyes on an appearance in the 2015 May final. However, who would you like, or do you think Chelsea will draw? The competition rules, at this stage, prevent Chelsea from being drawn against another English club or against a side who were in Group G with us. Also, as Group G winners, we can only be drawn against a side that finished second in their group, which leaves us with a list that looks like thus:- • Paris St Germain • Juventus • Basel • Bayer Leverkusen • Shakhtar Donetsk Talking about the forthcoming draw, Jose Mourinho had this to say after last nights` victory over Sporting Lisbon, We have five possible opponents and every one is hard. You think Basel is easy? We lost twice to them last year and they beat Liverpool. Paris would be good as it`s easy to travel for us and the fans. But we can`t decide the draw. Indeed we can`t, but who would you fancy and who do you actually think we`ll get paired with?
