Chelsea would hope to overturn a 3-1 deficit against Real Madrid as Thomas Tuchel’s men make the travels to the Spanish capital on Tuesday night.
The Blues were handed a big defeat in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final and have a major task awaiting them when they face Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
Let us now have a look at how Thomas Tuchel might set up his Chelsea side against Real Madrid –
3-4-2-1
Edouard Mendy is a certainty to start between the goalposts for the visitors to the Santiago Bernebeu with only a minor reshuffle expected in the backline.
Thiago Silva could be in line for a rest with his likely replacement in the centre-back role in Cesar Azpilicueta as Reece James pushes for a recall into the XI.
In the centre of the park, Mateo Kovacic is expected to retain his midfield berth alongside N’Golo Kante with Jorginho set to make the bench.
Timo Werner and Kai Havertz were in fine form against Southampton last time around and should be joined by Mason Mount in the attacking lineup.
