Genk vs. Chelsea: Start Time and Schedule
Chelsea destroyed Racing Genk by a score of 5-0 the last time these teams met at Stamford Bridge. It wasn't pretty, and this one won't go much better for Genk.
Genk allowed Fernando Torres to have a field day when the teams met on October 19th. He tallied two goals in the first half, which helped lead the Blues to a comfortable victory.
Don't expect things to be much different this time around, despite the location.

Biggest Storyline: Will Genk score?
After scoring five goals in the last match, Genk will hope to tighten up their backline at home in this one.
They put on a disastrous showing on both ends of the pitch, as they failed to even register a shot on target. Genk only attempted five shots in the match, but didn't test the keeper at all.
They might test the keeper in this one, but don't expect them to put one in the back of the net.
Player to Watch for Chelsea: Fernando Torres
Torres should have had netted a hat trick in the last match between the two sides, but was denied from point-blank range by Laszlo Koteles.
He will be aiming to get the hat trick in this game. He has gone through some ups and downs in his career, but will be looking to make these two games against Genk one of the best stretches of his career.
Player to Watch for Genk: Laszlo Koteles
Koteles was forced to stop 12 shots that came in his direction last game, but was only able to stop seven of them. He was actually quite impressive at times, especially on the point-blank save he made on Torres.
If Genk is going to have any chance, Koteles needs to be on-point for an entire 90 minutes.
What They're Saying:
Genk fans kept a positive attitude at Stamford Bridge despite being destroyed by Chelsea according to Goal.com.
"You have to hand it to the Genk fans. While their club were receiving the spanking of a lifetime at Stamford Bridge to a rampant Chelsea side and the goals continued to rain past their goalkeeper Laszlo Koteles, the witty Belgians found the funny side. "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" echoed around the away end with the score at 5-0 and when Fernando Torres got on the ball, and wasn't scoring either of his two goals, the Belgians mocked him with a chorus of his previous team Liverpool's anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone."
"
Key Matchup: Genk defense vs. Chelsea attack
Chelsea fired off 27 shots in the last meeting between these two teams, with 12 of them on target.
If Genk allows Chelsea to put 12 shots on target, they are bound to convert on multiple attempts. Genk needs to tighten up on the backline, or they are going to be destroyed by Chelsea once again.
Prediction: Genk 0, Chelsea 4
