The under-performing Blues lost out to Brighton last time out despite taking the lead through Conor Gallagher’s 13th-minute effort. The result extended Chelsea’s winless run to six games across all competitions, while losing four in that period. Meanwhile, their last success came against Leicester City (2-1), in the top flight, more than a month ago, under the stewardship of Graham Potter. Frank Lampard, who took charge as interim boss couple of weeks ago, has a mammoth task at his disposal, to overturn a two-goal deficit against the reigning European champions.
Los Blancnos, on the other hand, are in stunning form, having won four of their last five games in all competitions. On Saturday, Ancelotti’s side defeated Cadiz thanks to two second half goals from Nacho and Asensio. It was their 19th Spanish top flight victory of the season. Real Madrid are currently occupying second spot in the La Liga standings , having collected 62 points from 19 games, 11 adrift of leaders Barcelona. Meanwhile, the 14-time European champions are heading into Tuesday’s game aiming to secure a sixth consecutive Champions League knockout win. The Spanish giants thrashed Liverpool 6-2 on aggregate in the previous round. Real Madrid’s last visit to Stamford Bridge in April last year ended in a 3-1 victory.
Chelsea probable starting lineup: Kepa, James, Fofana, Silva, Cucurella, E. Fernandez, Kante, Kovacic, Mudryk, Havertz, Felix
Real Madrid probable starting lineup: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Camavinga, Modric, Valverde, Kroos, Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius Jr
