All roads lead to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night when Chelsea host Atletico Madrid for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Group C clash.
The Blues have fully recovered from their shocking start to the season, and they now ride on high morale after their coach, Antonio Conte, successfully handled the back stage crisis that nearly made him lose his job. The Blues have won four of their last five matches. They conceded only one goal in their last five games, as they scored an impressive 13 goals. They successfully erased memories of their shocking 3-0 champions league defeat to Roma, with a 4-0 victory over Qarabag.
Atletico Madrid are also on an impressive run in all competitions. They have won four of their last five games. They conceded only one goal in their last five games, as they scored twelve. They erased memories of their poor start to the champions league when they defeated Roma 2-0 in Spain. To top it all, their top-striker, Antonio Greizmann, rediscovered his scoring form few weeks ago.
Aside David Luiz’s knee injury, Chelsea have little or no injury worries. Charly Musonda and Kenedy are the only other sidelined Chelsea players.
Atletico will only have to worry over Juanfran’s injury. All others players are fit and ready for the match.
Chelsea lineup might include: Courtois – Azpilicueta, Christensen, Cahill – Moses, Kante, Bakayoko, Alonso – FÃ bregas, Hazard – Morata.
Atletico’s lineup might include: Oblak – Partey, Savic, Godin, Filipe Luis – Koke, Gabi, Saul, Carrasco – Griezmann, Gameiro.
