UCL Preview

Chelsea host Barcelona in a UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match at Stamford Bridge tonight.

Barca are bidding to reach the quarter-finals for a record-extending 11th year in a row. Chelsea, on the other hand, have progressed beyond the round of 16 only once in the last five seasons, and were beaten in their two most recent ties at this stage.

The two teams have met 12 times, all in the Champions League – and all since 2000.

Meanwhile, Marcos Alonso and Ross Barkley, who have missed Chelsea’s last three games, are expected to return to action, but David Luiz and Tiemoue Bakayoko are doubtful.

Barcelona’s new signing Philippe Coutinho will not feature as he is cup-tied, after playing for Liverpool in the group stages.

In another match to be played tonight, Bayern Munich clash against Besiktas at Allianz Arena in Germany.
