Ajax and Chelsea go head-to-head in the Champions League this week
Chelsea face a tricky trip to Amsterdam as they face last season’s semi-finalists Ajax in the Champions League.

Frank Lampard will know his men need to produce a big display to keep Ajax at bay.
The Dutch champions have won both of their opening games so far with six goals to their name and without conceding.
Ajax have kept a strong core of the players who reached the semi-finals last time around when they were dumped out by Tottenham in a dramatic two-leg tie.

Chelsea have won their last five in all competitions, but most importantly, they’ve been winning games without giving opponents much of a sniff at their goal.
They kept clean sheets against Newcastle and Brighton, while also limiting Southampton and Lille to single goals, a welcome change to their more frantic scorelines at the start of the season.
Ajax represent a big test for Lampard’s men and head into this one as favourites, but Chelsea have young talents of their own capable of striking back.
Prediction: Ajax 2-2 Chelsea
