Tore Andre Flo will be offering his expert insight in Matchnight Live on Chelsea TV this evening.

Man of the moment Florent Malouda is in charitable mood in this month's magazine, while cult hero Branislav Ivanovic discusses his rise to prominence.

On Friday we said: 'Chelsea are 1.84 to win by two or more on Saturday but given the ability of both sides to score it makes better value to bet on the Asian Handicap goals market.' On Tuesday night Chelsea face Inter Milan at home in the Champions League. Chelsea have come back to the Bridge twice before in Europe having suffered a 2-1 defeat away from home in the first leg. On both occasions they came through winning 4-2 against Barcelona in 2005 and 2-0 against Fenerbahce two years ago. The odds against a Blues win are 1.60 but there is better value in backing them to win in the Asian Handicap market where Chelsea give up a one-goal start. If the Blues win by one you get your stake back. If they win by more you win at odds of 2.07. Inter will know that if Chelsea score then that will be enough to see them through so a Blues breakthrough will force them to come out and attack, hopefully leaving gaps at the back for Malouda and others to exploit. Inter have gone out to Man United and Liverpool at this stage in the last two years, losing 2-0 in England on both occasions. A repeat of the same score line for Chelsea can be backed at odds of 6.50.
