"In the 21 matches he has played against Chelsea, Rashford has scored six goals while mustering five assists. The tally of 11 goal involvements is tied with Newcastle United and ranks as two of his favourite opponents. Rashford's lethal scoring record against Chelsea is certainly a plus for Barcelona as they look to navigate these tough conditions. Heading into this game, it was thought that Rashford might not make it for the trip to Stamford Bridge, having missed the earlier game due to a fever."
"But the Englishman has officially returned to the Barcelona setup, and with a tally of four goals and two assists already in the Champions League, the 28-year-old will be determined to make an impact at Stamford Bridge. Unfortunately, with Ferran Torres and Robert Lewandowski both in great form, Rashford may have to start the game on the bench and come on later as a substitute."
