Team News: Chelsea vs Lille

Chelsea FC:

The Blues are back into the UCL clash again, the reigning champions are going to defend it once again. Chelseaโ€™s performance in the group stages was praiseworthy yet they finished second to Juventus. However, their most highlighted match was the 3-3 draw against Zenit in the final game of group H. Chelsea however is in top form after winning the Club World Cup and maintaining a 5 match winning streak across all competitions.ย 

In the Premier League, Chelsea was deemed to be the favorite to win the league. However, they have slipped a bit in that mission. Looking at their recent performances Chelsea has struggled to take control of the game, but somehow managed to squeeze out the win. Their last match against Crystal Palace was a definite example where Ziyechโ€™s last-minute goal secured all 3 points for Chelsea. Thomas Tuchelโ€™s side now comes against last yearโ€™s Ligue 1 winner Lille, who will put up a good fight to secure their place as well.

Suspensions:

Thankfully, no one is suspended for the upcoming clash.
