Chelsea likely XI
Thomas Tuchel will most likely play a back 3 and two wing backs against Real Madrid. The system have worked a treat for the German gaffer since he arrived London.
Chelsea XI: Mendy; Silva, Zouma, Christensen; Azpilicueta, Mount, Jorginho, Chilwell; Werner, Pulisic, Havertz.
Real Madrid likely XI
Real Madrid will be without Dani Carvajal in the game. However, Sergio Ramos is likely to start.
Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Ramos, Odriozola, Militao, Marcelo; Casemiro, Kroos, Modric; Asensio, Benzema, Vinicius.
Where will the game be won and lost?
The team with the most cutting edge will win the game. Most fans know that Chelsea's strongest point this season have been their defence. Tuchel's team are specialist at keeping clean sheets.
Against Los Blancos there will be no room for error as any goal conceded may be difficult to cancel out. Real Madrid also have a pretty solid backline Eder Militao has been doing excellently in Ramos and Varane's absence. Madrid have kept 5 clean sheets from their last 6 games.
Chelsea can destroy Madrid with the pace of Pulisic and Werner while the preciseness of Kai Havertz will be key in finding the odd goal.
