Chelsea face Real Madrid on the road in the first leg of their quarter-final tie tonight.
The Blues are winless in their last four games and will be aiming to spring up a surprise.
Predicted Line-up:
Kepa Arrizabalaga had a mixed relationship with interim boss Frank Lampard earlier in his career but the Spaniard started between the sticks on Saturday. He should keep his spot.
There could be one change in the backline with Ben Chilwell coming in for Marc Cucurella at left back. Reece James will start at right back.
Wesley Fofana and Kalidou Koulibaly should make up the central defence. Thiago Silva is back in training after a hamstring injury but may not start.
In midfield, Enzo Fernandez and Kalidou Koulibaly are expected to feature. N'Golo Kante could come in for Conor Gallagher to provide more defensive assurance.
Further forward, Joao Felix, Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling are likely to start once more. Mason Mount could appear off the bench after his minor injury.
Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-3-3): Arrizabalaga; James, Fofana, Koulibaly, Chilwell; Fernandez, Kante, Kovacic; Sterling, Havertz, Felix.
