Chelsea vs FC Basel: 5 Key Battles

Marco Streller vs Gary Cahill/John Terry

Gary Cahill of Chelsea

The six-foot-five-inch striker has been Basel’s biggest goal-threat so far this season, scoring 4 goals in 5 appearances. He is a physical presence up front and will have to be marked by either John Terry or Gary Cahill (whichever of the two players start). It’s safe to say that if he is kept quite for most of the game, Basel will find it slightly tougher to find the back of the net. However, keeping the big man in check is easier said than done.
