THE PREDICTION
Champions League holders Chelsea have yet to really burst to life in the competition this season, with a laboured 1-0 win over Zenit followed by defeat to Juventus, but back-to-back fixtures against Swedish minnows Malmo offers them an excellent chance to do so. The visitors have lost both of their Group H games convincingly and are no match for the Premier League side, who should have relatively little trouble in putting them to the sword. Thomas Tuchel will make plenty of changes after the Premier League win over Brentford but such is the depth of talent in his squad, that will barely weaken them. For extra value, take Chelsea to be leading at both half-time and full-time.
