Chelsea coach Avram Grant is ready to return to a more attacking style when his side face Olympiacos on home soil in a fortnight’s time.

Olympiacos coach Panagiotis Lemonis has warned his side that any mistakes will be punished by a lethal Chelsea attack when they meet in their Champions League clash in Athens.

ALEX FERGUSON believes eccentric goalkeeper Fabien Barthez is back to his best.

England midfielder Nicky Butt was the notable absentee as Manchester United headed off to Athens for the resumption of their Champions League campaign.

Olympiakos are hoping tactical superiority will overcome footballing excellence when they take on Manchester United at Old Trafford.
