THE PREDICTION

There are plenty of off-the-field distractions going on at Chelsea right now but that has so far not affected results on the pitch and, regardless of the distractions, Thomas Tuchel will still be expecting his side to finish the job here and qualify for the quarter-finals. Kai Havertz is enjoying an excellent run of form right now as he leads the Blues line and with a resolute rearguard featuring the likes of Thiago Silva behind him, another win to nil for the reigning European champions looks on the cards.
