Chelsea host Barcelona in a heavyweight clash in the Champions League this evening.
After some less glamorous trips in the Europa Conference League last season, this is the sort of fixture Blues fans have been desperate to see back in west London.
And Enzo Maresca’s side welcome the Catalan giants to west London just as they are hitting some form, back up to second in the Premier League with momentum building.
Marcus Rashford is back on these shores for the second time since leaving Manchester United on loan having put Newcastle United to the sword in September.
But the most intriguing story tonight could be the battle of the young superstars with Estevao Willian and Lamine Yamal hoping to set the game alight.
