The UEFA Champions League is back in action this week as Chelsea travel to the Iberian peninsula to lock horns with FC Porto at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium on Wednesday. Chelsea have a few issues to address this month and have a point to prove going into this match.
FC Porto have enjoyed a positive season so far and are in second place in the league table at the moment. The Portuguese giants stunned Juventus in the round-of-16 and will be intent on pulling off another upset in this fixture.
Chelsea have been largely impressive under Thomas Tuchel this year but were handed a massive reality check over the weekend. The Blues slumped to a stunning 5-2 defeat against West Bromwich Albion in their previous game and cannot afford another mishap this week.
