Chelsea v Galatasaray factfile

Factfile on Chelsea and Galatasaray ahead of the Champions League last 16, second leg tie between the clubs on Tuesday:

Form: Jose Mourinho's Chelsea are well placed to progress to the quarter-finals after coming away from the first leg in Istanbul last month with a 1-1 draw. Fernando Torres scored for the Londoners at the Turk Telecom Arena before Aurelian Chedjou earned Galatasaray the draw that their second-half performance deserved. Mourinho's playing down of his side's Premier League title prospects didn't look so fanciful when they went down to a surprise 1-0 defeat to struggling Aston Villa on Saturday, the London side's first defeat in 15 games. Mourinho has been equally reluctant to talk up their European hopes. Galatasaray may be the outsiders, but their form is good - an inconsequential Cup defeat at Elazigspor is their only reverse in their last 23 games.
