On Tuesday evening, Chelsea will resume their UEFA Champions League campaign with a mouth watering tie at home to Spanish giants FC Barcelona, with kick off at 20:00 GMT.
Coming into the game, both sides have picked up seven points from their opening four league phase games, making this a six pointer in the race to try and secure a top eight spot and automatic qualification into the round of 16.
Team News
Although Cole Palmer did train with the team on Monday, after a recent toe injury, this game is expected to come too soon for him - at least from a starting XI perspective. Meanwhile, Romeo Lavia is also set to miss this game, after yet another injury during the draw with Qarabag last time out.
Aside from that, Enzo Maresca does not have any fresh injury concerns heading into this game.
In the opposition corner, it seems like this showdown will come one game too early for star midfielder Pedri, whilst his partner Gavi is out with a long term injury. Other than that, there are no other injury concerns - with Raphinha returning from a two month absence last weekend - though he may not be ready to start the game.
Potential Chelsea XI; Sanchez; James, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Neto, Pedro, Garnacho; Delap.
Potential Barcelona XI; J. Garcia; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde; E. Garcia, De Jong, Fermin; Yamal, Lewandowski, Rashford.

For those in the United States, the game will be shown live on Paramount + for an English language option, and live on ViX and TUDN App / Univision for Spanish language coverage.

Should be a great game between two very good sides.
