Chelsea are in the middle of a resurgent run under the tutelage of Thomas Tuchel, who is yet to lose a game in-charge of the Blues. The west Londoners come into this Wednesday’s game on the back of a 13-game unbeaten run, part of which has propelled them up to 4th in the Premier League table. In the UEFA Champions League, Chelsea are unbeaten this term, having also topped their group to reach the Last 16.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, finished runners-up in Group A to make it to the Round of 16 and have managed to win just two of their seven games in Europe in the ongoing campaign. The Colchoneros, though, are enjoying a memorable season in La Liga, where they are perched atop the standings, although they have slipped up a bit in recent weeks due to a few draws.
The first leg, played in Bucharest last month, saw Chelsea eke out a narrow 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid, courtesy of a second-half strike by Olivier Giroud.
