3) Chelsea
Undoubtedly the best team in England, but Chelsea are perhaps not quite there yet in terms of being the very best team in Europe. Jose Mourinho will be desperate to finally win the Champions League with the Blues, having done so with both Porto and Inter Milan, and though they are surely certainties to reach the semi-finals again and probably even the final, it just feels like they might come unstuck when they meet the other big boys of Europe. It is worth remembering that Chelsea have had an easy group, and it is in the big games in the league this season that they have looked uncertain, drawing with both Manchester City and Manchester United when they perhaps should’ve won.
