Valencia coach Unai Emery says they're in great shape going into their Champions League showdown at Chelsea.

Valencia could hardly be travelling to Stamford Bridge in better form, having won seven of their last eight games.

They will also be facing a side who have lost three of their last four home matches and whose defence has looked extremely vulnerable all season.

Emery said: "They might have had small problems or doubts in the past, but they scored three at Newcastle at the weekend so we can't count on ups and downs.

"We need to put very strong arguments tomorrow to go through.

"We respect Chelsea for their greatness, their history, their top-level players and manager, and we can't count on recent form.

"But this is an opportunity."
