Chelsea FC team news: Confirmed line-ups for Blues v Barcelona at Stamford Bridge

One of the most hotly-anticipated matches of the season is finally here, as Chelsea host Barcelona in the Champions League round-of-16.

This is the first time the two teams have met since 2012, when the Blues beat their Spanish rivals over two legs to reach the final of Europe’s premier competition - which they won, defeating Bayern in Munich to become the first London side to win the Champions League.

Barca are currently flying high at the top of LaLiga, having still not lost a league game in 2017/18, and they are being backed to win the treble of league, domestic cup, and European Cup.
