Will Mourinho or Ancelotti triumph in the battle of the Bridge?

Jose Mourinho is back in town, back at Chelsea, and back in the headlines.

The former Blues coach returns to Stamford Bridge tonight for the first time as a rival team boss when his his Inter Milan side take on his old club in the Champions League.

Inter hold a 2-1 lead from the first leg, but with Chelsea's away goal the tie is wide open.

Statistically, it's Chelsea who hold the advantage: as well as the away goal, they are at home, and - man for man - have a better team.

But that is without the Mourinho factor. With him on the touchline it will be far from straightforward for Chelsea and, as the Portuguese says: "Everybody knows Mourinho doesn't lose at Stamford Bridge."

It's a fascinating prospect, but who do you think will triumph?

Will Carlo Ancelotti continue his fantastic record in the Champions League?

Or will Mourinho pull off another result at the ground that was his fortress for so long?

Sign in and let us know what you think...
