Chelsea left Istanbul wondering how they managed to lose their Champions League quarter-final first leg to Fenerbahce but they should recover from the setback in Tuesday’s home return.

For all the celebrations of the Turkish side’s upset 2-1 victory, the odds remain heavily in favour of the London side, who need only a 1-0 success to advance to a semi-final.

“We played well in Turkey, not just in the first half but in the second half until they scored,” manager Avram Grant said. “Fenerbahce are a good team with a good coach. Zico was a player I liked very much. It will not be easy but I know we can win.”

Grant rested half his first-choice side for Saturday’s 2-0 win at Manchester City and said the squad factor had been important in enabling the club to challenge on two fronts deep into the season.

Nevertheless, the second leg of a Champions League quarter-final is not a place for sentiment and the big guns will all be back.

Probable line-ups

Chelsea: Carlo Cudicini, Paulo Ferreira, John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho, Ashley Cole,Michael Ballack, Claude Makelele, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, Joe Cole,Salomon Kalou.

Fenerbahce: Volkan Demirel, Onder Turaci, Lugano, Edu, Gokcek Vederson; Claudio Maldonado, Mehmet Aurelio, Ugur Boral, Deivid, Mateja Kezman, Alex.
