Chelsea left with egg on their faces?
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho may fast becoming as cryptic as Eric Cantona, with his latest quip about omlettes and eggs ahead of his team's game against Rosenborg, but the west Londoners are still 9/4 favourites to go the furthest of the British teams. The Norwegian visitors to Stamford Bridge have only ever won one of their previous Champions League matches and Chelsea will expect to dominate despite the continued absence of Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba and are 4/11 favourites to score the most goals in all the opening enounters. The Blues are well fancied in the tournament this year and while William Hill make them favourites of all the six British sides still in the mix, the bookmaker have also priced up the possibility of an all-English final. William Hill are offering 8/1 about the first all British final to the Champions League happening this season - and outside of Chelsea they make Manchester United 5/2 to go the furthest; Liverpool 3/1; Arsenal 4/1; Celtic 12/1; Rangers 16/1. Hill's have also opened a United-based book on which of Ronaldinho, Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo or Ronaldo will score the most Champions League goals this season and they make Ronaldinho 9/4 to come out on top, with Rooney 5/2; Cristiano Ronaldo 5/2 and Ronaldo 10/3. Champions League odds: 5/1 Barcelona; 13/2 Chelsea; 7/1 Manchester Utd; 8/1 AC Milan; Inter Milan; 9/1 Real Madrid; 10/1 Liverpool; 16/1 Arsenal; 20/1 Lyon; Sevilla; 25/1 Valencia; 33/1 Roma; Werder Bremen; 66/1 Benfica; FC Porto; Schalke; Stuttgart; 80/1 Lazio; PSV; 100/1 CSKA Moscow; Sporting Lisbon. Champions League top scorer: 9/1 Henry; 10/1 Drogba; 12/1 Van Nistelrooy; 16 Crespo; Kaka; Ronaldinho; Torres; 20 Messi; C. Ronaldo; Rooney; Tevez; Totti; Villa; 25 Eto'o; Ibrahimovic; Ronaldo; Van Persie (William Hill) (Editor's Note: Can the England teams dominate the Champions League this season or will sides from Spain or Italy win through again?
