The UEFA Champions League returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Chelsea lock horns with FC Porto at the Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. Chelsea eased past the Portuguese giants by a 2-0 margin in the first leg and will be confident ahead of this match.
FC Porto have not been consistent this season and have a point to prove going into this match. The Portuguese outfit edged Tondela to a 2-0 victory and will need to step up to the plate to stand a chance this week.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have undergone a renaissance under Thomas Tuchel this season and have an outside chance of winning the UEFA Champions League. The Blues thrashed Crystal Palace in their previous game and will need to put in a similar performance in this game.
