Premier League legend Michael Owen has backed Chelsea to beat Valencia in their Champions League clash on Tuesday night.

Chelsea host Spanish La Liga club Valencia at home in what’s a Group H clash.

The Blues are making a return to the competition after a one-year absence which saw them feature in the Europa League.

Chelsea emerged as the Europa League winners via a 4-1 victory over London rivals Arsenal in their final meeting.

On the Champions League clash with Valencia, former Liverpool star Michael Owen is certain that Chelsea would be too much for the Spaniards on the night.

Michael Owen predicted the outcome of the game between Chelsea and Valencia in a chat with BetVictor.

Valencia are in a mini-crisis at the moment after the surprising dismissal of their manager Marcelino.

The decision has not gone down well with the players who protested by boycotting the pre-match presser for the Champions League clash with Chelsea.

The players are not happy with the club’s decision to sack Marcelino who has since been replaced by Albert Celades.

Valencia were thrashed 5-2 by Barcelona in the first game under the new era as Los Che were totally outplayed by the Spanish champions in their league meeting at the weekend.
