A draw tonight would see Chelsea progress, though the Blues can also go through with a defeat if Zenit St Petersburg fail to overcome Malmo.

Thomas Tuchel’s players recorded a 3-0 victory at Leicester on Saturday as they remained top of the Premier League, three points ahead of Manchester City, so they will carry great confidence into this meeting.

Here’s everything you need to know about this evening’s game.

The match will kick off at 8pm GMT at Stamford Bridge.

How can I watch it?

The game will air live on BT Sport 2 and BT Sport Ultimate. The fixture will also stream live on the broadcaster’s app and website.

What is the team news?

Chelsea forwards Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner are closing in on returns from injury. The latter sat on the bench for the Blues’ victory over Leicester on Saturday, while Lukaku is back in training. Meanwhile, Mateo Kovacic is out for the foreseeable future due to a hamstring issue.

Paulo Dybala may be fit enough to feature for Juventus, though Giorgio Chiellini is unlikely to be involved. Danilo and Aaron Ramsey will miss out here, while Federico Bernardeschi is also an injury concern for coach Max Allegri.
