Welcome to the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16. Chelsea are about to make history and come back from a three-goal deficit to advance, right?
Yeah, probably not. But hey, might as well try.
I have no idea what’s going on with that backline, but otherwise it’s a familiar lineup from Liam Rosenior. We’ve got a couple Academy youngsters on the bench; maybe they’ll get some minutes if it remains a blowout.
It’s fully rested full strength from the visitors.

Sánchez | Cucurella, Hato, Sarr, Chalobah | Santos, Caicedo | Enzo (c), Palmer, Neto | João Pedro
