Chelsea will continue their bid to retain their Champions League crown by facing Lille in the Round of 16 of the competition.
The French club is not on its best form in this campaign and they have been struggling domestically. In Jonathan David they have a solid striker, but Chelsea is still the favourites.
The Blues started this season well domestically, but they have struggled to keep up with Manchester City and Liverpool in the league.
They have reached the final of the Carabao Cup, but winning that competition would be very tough for them because they are facing Liverpool.
The Blues have just won the Club World Cup and know they need to eliminate Lille to keep themselves in the UCL.
Going out at this stage against the French club would embarrassing so they need a strong performance in this fixture.
Thomas Tuchel’s men has won all their last five matches in all competitions, albeit some have stretched them beyond normal time.
Lille has just two wins from their last five competitive fixture, but they won at Montpellier on their last away match.
