Real Madrid vs Chelsea: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results

Chelsea’s defence of their Champions League crown is hanging by a thread as they head to the Spanish capital for a quarter-final showdown against Real Madrid.

A Karim Benzema hat-trick secured Los Blancos a 3-1 aggregate lead from the first leg at Stamford Bridge, although the absence of the away goals rule somewhat lessens that advantage compared to previous years.

Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea bounced back on the weekend with a demolition job against Southampton.

Meanwhile, Madrid cruised past Getafe at the Bernabeu - during which Gareth Bale was booed.

Eden Hazard (ankle), Isco (back) and Luka Jovic (muscle) all sat out the first leg and are expected to do so once again this week, having missed the win over Getafe. Eder Militao is suspended.

Carlo Ancelotti made a few changes to his line-up for that game and is set to recall Ferland Mendy, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Dani Carvajal to his line-up to face Chelsea.

The visiotrs are monitoring Romelu Lukaku after he missed the trip to Southampton, which Hakim Ziyech made the bench for having been a doubt.

Callum Hudson-Odoi (back) and Ben Chilwell (knee) are unavailable with Timo Werner pushing for a start after a brace on the south coast.

Chelsea may well get close to rescuing this tie but it is hard
