Eden Hazard made his return from injury at the weekend but he might not be ready to start against his former club here, whilst Sergio Ramos is also doubtful. Toni Kroos has missed Real’s last two games but should be involved, but Ferland Mendy and Fede Valverde are definitely out.

Champions League semi-final first legs are often tight affairs and Tuesday’s encounter should be no different, especially when considering the two sides’ respect defensive records.

Los Blancos have enjoyed four consecutive clean sheets with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in some of the best form of his career, and the Belgian will surely be highly motivated when facing his former side.

Chelsea have also been incredibly solid at the back, keeping 11 clean sheets in their last 14 games in all competitions, whilst the Blues have conceded just three goals in 10 in the Champions League games this term.

Opposing a high-scoring match makes plenty of sense, with both sides likely to cancel each other out.
