Chelsea vs FC Porto
Chelsea will be facing off against Portuguese opponents FC Porto in the UEFA Champions League quarter finals stage. This will be the second leg between the two sides after Chelsea got the 2-0 win last week. Thomas Tuchel’s men will be looking to secure a semi finals berth this time around.
Team news
Thomas Tuchel has the luxury of having a fully fit squad ahead of Porto tonight. Midfielder N’golo Kante is fit again and available for selection. Moreover defender Thiago Silva could also be handed out a spot in the starting line up.
“We need to be careful about him. The question is whether we want him to start or finish the game. It is not answered yet, I will do this tomorrow.”
However for Porto the return of Sergio Oliviera still remains doubtful. They do not want to take any risks with their top goal scorer for the season.”We will see tomorrow,” said Conceicao. “As you know, the last match as I can say, he was not yet ready for the 90
minutes because of a small muscle problem and it is always dangerous.”

Prediction
Chelsea’s defensive record in the UEFA Champions League this season is exceptional to say the least. They are looking to keep three clean sheet in a row now. Moreover they have the two-goal away advantage going into the match. Porto have the quality but it will be tough to break down this Chelsea defence. We are going with a Chelsea win.
FULL TIME: CHELSEA 1-0 FC PORTO
