Chelsea visit Bordeaux tonight with things tight at the top of Group A. They shouldn’t fear too much, though – Bordeaux’s attack is led by David Bellion.

In a move that will alert a good proportion of the Premiership, particularly Spurs and Man City (the latter should be in the market for anyone who can play instead of Darius Vassell) German international Lukas Podolski has stated his desire to leave Bayern Munich.
