Valencia 1-1 Chelsea: As It Happened

Kickoff at 19:45 UK/04:45 EST

Valencia host Chelsea at Estadio Mestalla, looking to bounce back from their ill-tempered 1-0 loss to Sevilla, when seven yellow cards and three red cards were handed out. 

Chelsea's Juan Mata will return home to the club that gave him a chance after Real Madrid rejected him.

Having scored four against Swansea, Chelsea will be aiming for even more goals—especially from Fernando Torres who'll have an immediate chance to rectify his red card.
