Schalke currently sit 2nd in Group G, 3 points behind Tuesday's opponents. However, a poor loss to Sporting Lisbon last time out has dented their hopes of progressing to the next round of the competition. They need a positive result against Chelsea to keep their European hopes alive.
Chelsea have 8 points from their opening 4 Champions League games. Despite topping Group G, Mourinho will have been disappointed at their European campaign so far and will demand a win here in order to guarantee their place as group winners in Germany.
Di Matteo will look to get one over his former employers, but Chelsea have too much about them and should secure victory here.
