Chelsea host Barcelona at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday for a crucial Champions League match.
The Blues are aiming to extend their unbeaten run at home in the European group stages to 17 games. After a difficult draw in Azerbaijan last time out, Enzo Maresca's side will be hungry to get back to winning ways against one of the competition's favourites.
The home team have been in excellent form, keeping three clean sheets in a row in the Premier League. However, they face a Barcelona attack that has scored in 24 consecutive Champions League matches. Therefore, a disciplined defensive performance will be essential if Chelsea are to secure the three important points.

Enzo Maresca continues to deal with a difficult injury list. Cole Palmer remains out with a fractured toe, while Levi Colwill and Romeo Lavia are also unavailable. As a result, the creative burden will fall on teenage sensation Estevao Willian.
The Brazilian has scored in his first two Champions League starts and could make history with another goal here. Up front, Liam Delap is expected to lead the defence, supported by Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho, both in excellent form. Captain Reece James will start at right-back after testing his fitness.
Chelsea's predicted line-up
Chelsea: Sanchez; James, Adarabioyo, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Neto, Pedro, Garnacho; Cupboard
