Chelsea face Lille on the road in tonight's Champions League clash. The Blues have a 2-0 lead from the round of 16 first leg, and have an excellent chance of progressing to the last eight.
Predicted Line-up:
Edouard Mendy has been the go-to choice for the Blues in goal. He has 17 clean sheets this campaign, and there are no doubts over his inclusion in the starting XI.
Thomas Tuchel may revert to his preferred back three. Thiago Silva should return after his rest at the weekend. The Brazilian is likely to partner Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger.
With Reece James doubtful with a muscle injury, Cesar Azpilicueta is expected to start at right wing-back. On the opposite end, Marcos Alonso should feature ahead of Malang Sarr.
In midfield, there may be no changes. N'Golo Kante was instrumental in the reverse leg with a key assist. He should be accompanied by Jorginho, who provided a wonderful lofty pass for Kai Havertz's winner against Newcastle.
Further forward, there could be a solitary change with Hakim Ziyech making way for Christian Pulisic. Pulisic should accompany Mason Mount with Havertz leading the line once again.
Predicted Chelsea line-up (3-4-2-1): Mendy; Christensen, Silva, Rudiger; Azpilicueta, Kante, Jorginho, Alonso; Mount, Pulisic; Havertz.
