Stoke City v Chelsea - Premier League
Alvaro Morata is struggling for goals at the moment

When Chelsea defeated Barcelona in 2012 at Stamford Bridge 1-0 and drew 2-2 at Camp Nou, they had argurably two of the most prolific strikers in the world then, Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres.

Alhough Alvaro Morata started well at Stamford Bridge, he waned off as the season progressed. He has been goalless in his last 6 appearances and has scored only 4 in his last 17 appearances for Chelsea. Olivier Giroud arrived at the Bridge during the January transfer window, but Conte did not deem it fit to count on him in the first leg. Eden Hazard was used as a false 9 instead and we expect more of the same second time around.

Suarez has hit form at the right moment and is scoring for fun right now. The Uruguayan has scored 17 goals in his last 16 appearances for Barcelona. And finally, the little magician from Argentina is at his usual best this season and we can expect him to steer Barcelona’s ship in the right direction once again.
