Chelsea welcome Serie A giants Juventus in a high-billed meeting between the two teams in the group stage of the Champions League on Tuesday night.
The west Londoners ran out convincing victors away at Leicester City over the weekend in a result which meant that Thomas Tuchel’s men remain at the summit of the table with a three-point cushion.
Juventus edged out Chelsea in a rather evenly contested affair last time around and the latter will be hopeful of clinching an important win in the reverse fixture which would be played out at home turf.
One point is all that is required by the Stamford Bridge giants to book their spot in the Last-16 of the competition and Tuchel will be counting on his high-flying players to do the job.
