Anybody giving Chelsea a chance against Barca over two legs? I'm looking forward to seeing how they get on, Busquets vs Bakayoko would be an embarrassing match up, probably the best holding midfielder in the world against one of the worst in history.

I think it'll be a draw at Stamford Bridge and an easy win at The Camp Nou for Barca.

Chelsea will win tonight...2-1
bet your house on it

I honestly have no idea how tonight's game will go, the only score I don't see happening is a convincing Chelsea win. But I would prefer Chelsea to get through the tie.

The more fixtures for our other top 4 rivals the better if you ask me, and I'd rather play Chelsea in the next round than Barca, as we've a good record in the CL against them.

Instead Eden Hazard, Pedro and Willian form a floating front three with Morata and Giroud among the substitutes.

In total there are seven changes from the team that beat Hull in the FA Cup at the weekend with only Antonio Rudiger, Cesc Fabregas, Willian and Pedro retaining their places.
