Rudiger, Giroud And Chilwell To Start, Ziyech On The Bench: Chelsea’s Predicted XI To Play Porto

A 5-2 defeat at home to West Brom is hardly the ideal preparation ahead of a Champions League quarter-final, but manager Thomas Tuchel will still be confident of getting a result against Porto.

The Portuguese side are widely believed to be the weakest team left in the competition and, while Chelsea should not underestimate them, they will be favourites for tomorrow’s match.

N’Golo Kante is unlikely to be fit for the first leg, while Christian Pulisic is also a major doubt, but Tuchel does have plenty of options available to him.
