Chelsea vs Lille LIVE: Reigning champions kick-off their Champions League knockout campaign against last year's Ligue 1 winners as Thomas Tuchel's side look for SIXTH straight victory in all competitions

Chelsea begin their Champions League knockout stage campaign on Tuesday night when they host Lille in the last-16 first-leg in London.

Thomas Tuchel's side have won their last five matches in all competitions which has seen them solidify a place in the top-four, advance in the FA Cup and win the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi.

But French side Lille are not to be under-estimated as Les Dogues won Ligue 1 last season and have hotshot striker Jonathan David in their squad.
