After the exertions of the midweek UEFA Champions League matches, the elite teams of Europe are back in action this weekend.
Chelsea is one of the teams that had to struggle to a 2-2 draw in Spain, and now the Blues come home to Stamford Bridge to face a West Ham United team teetering on the brink. With two London teams already sacking their managers, Manuel Pelligrini is now one of the favorites to be the next one to go, especially if the poor results continue against Chelsea.
There is also F.A. Cup second round action, with two games here to look at closely.
