"Chelsea make five changes to their starting XI after the 2-0 win at Burnley on Saturday. Moises Caicedo, Estevao, Alejandro Garnacho, Wesley Fofana and Malo Gusto come in for Joao Pedro, Andrey Santos, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Tosin Adarabioyo, all of whom drop to the bench. Share Chelsea: Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella, James, Caicedo, Estevao, Fernandez, Garnacho, Pedro Neto. Subs: Jorgensen, Adarabioyo, Badiashile, Delap, Bynoe-Gittens, Santos, Joao Pedro, Hato, George, Acheampong, Guiu, Buonanotte."
"Throw in Chelsea's record of scoring in each of their last 19 European games, Barcelona finding the net in their last 24 Champions League fixtures, the fact that none of Chelsea's last 52 European fixtures have finished 0-0, and the stat of Barca's last 20 Champions League games producing an average of 4.8 goals per 90 minutes, and this promises to be a doozy."
Chelsea make five changes to their starting XI after the 2-0 win at Burnley, bringing in Moises Caicedo, Estevao, Alejandro Garnacho, Wesley Fofana and Malo Gusto. Joao Pedro, Andrey Santos, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Tosin Adarabioyo drop to the bench. Chelsea start Sanchez in goal with Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah and Cucurella in defence, and James, Caicedo, Estevao and Fernandez in midfield, with Garnacho and Pedro Neto up front. Barcelona field Joan Garcia, Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde, Eric Garcia, de Jong, Yamal, Lopez, Torres and Lewandowski. Slavko Vincic (Slovenia) is referee. Both teams possess strong recent European scoring records, suggesting a likely high-scoring match with kick-off at 8pm GMT.
