Chelsea vs. Napoli: UEFA Champions League Live Score, Analysis, Recap

So, did anything happen since the last time these teams played?

Just kidding.

Three weeks ago, Napoli beat Chelsea 3-1 at home in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie. Less than a week later, Chelsea sacked first-year manager Andre Villas-Boas.

The return leg is Wednesday in West London, and Roberto Di Matteo will lead Chelsea out of the tunnel. Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri will be there as well, though for a while that seemed unlikely.

Since AVB's sacking, Chelsea have beaten Birmingham City (in the FA Cup) and Stoke City (in the league). Napoli, who beat Cagliari 6-3 over the weekend, will provide an even stiffer test.

Can Chelsea turn around the deficit and advance to the quarterfinals? Join us Wednesday to find out.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3:45 p.m. ET on Wednesday and we'll have live commentary starting around 3:30.
