Chelsea enter the Champions League knockout stages with confidence they can grind out the necessary wins on the way to defending their title.
The Blues are at home for the first leg against Lille with a packed Stamford Bridge eager to see the team extend their winning streak.
Thomas Tuchel’s men have started to pull together following a tricky start to 2022 and have recorded five victories in a row across all competitions, though that run does include League One Plymouth and two appearances in the Club World Cup.
Romelu Lukaku came under fire at the weekend after it was revealed he had only touched the ball seven times during his team’s victory over Crystal Palace.
Lille are enduring a tough campaign so far in 2021/22 and sit 11th in the Ligue 1 table, though they are just four points away from the top five. They won the Champions League Group G containing RB Salzburg, Sevilla and Wolfsburg.

Chelsea v Lille prediction
Chelsea are pulling themselves together, but it’s not all plain sailing from here.
Lukaku should not be lambasted for his display at the weekend, but he desperately needs to come together with Tuchel – who is unlikely to be blameless in their fractious relationship – and work out how he can affect games. On his day, he’s among the very best.
Hakim Ziyech has stepped up lately and will hope his fellow attacking teammates can step up and do enough to secure an advantage on home soil.
Our prediction: Chelsea 1-0 Lille (5/1 at bet365)
