both teams head into Chelsea vs Barcelona<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chelsea come into this game off the back of five straight victories in all competitions and with two clean sheets in a row. This run has propelled the Blues to second in the Premier League table and they currently sit 12th in the Champions League table. It&#8217;s been a really good period for Enzo Maresca&#8217;s side, who have scored 12 times in their last five matches and done so without talisman, Cole Palmer. Their opening UCL game saw them lose to Bayern Munich but they&#8217;ve gone unbeaten since and will be looking to continue their good run against one of La Liga&#8217;s premier sides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barcelona come into the game in their own spell of good form, having gone four games unbeaten. During that time they&#8217;ve scored 14 times, showing their dominance in front of goal. Despite this they remain one point behind Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table and 11th in the Champions League group stage. Goals have flowed for Barcelona in Europe this season, with the side scoring 12 times in four games, assisted by a 6-1 win over Olympiacos, and they&#8217;ll be keen to add to their tally against Chelsea this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chelsea-team-news\">Chelsea team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cole Palmer, Romeo Lavia and Levi Colwill remain sidelined for the Blues and there is some concern over the availability of both Reece James and Wesley Fofana. James was taken off at half time in Chelsea&#8217;s victory at the weekend while Fofana wasn&#8217;t in the squad for &#8216;protection&#8217;. It remains to be seen whether either will play a part against Barcelona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-barcelona-team-news\">Barcelona team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barcelona will be without Pedri, Gavi and Marc-Andre ter Stegen for the trip to Stamford Bridge, while the availability of Marcus Rashford is in doubt as he continues to battle with illness. Raphinha made his comeback from injury at the weekend but is only likely to make the bench again in this fixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Season Form &amp; Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chelsea and Barcelona are neck-and-neck in the group stage. Both teams have 7 points from 4 matches, with Barcelona slightly ahead on goal difference thanks to 12 goals scored (to Chelsea&#8217;s 9). Chelsea have been slightly more solid at the back, conceding one fewer goal and showing strong passing metrics. Barcelona, however, have produced more big chances and dominate possession, averaging 65% compared to Chelsea&#8217;s 56.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Team<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pos<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">P<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">W<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">D<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">L<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GF<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GA<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GD<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pts<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Barcelona<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">11<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+5<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Chelsea<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+3<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Head-to-Head: Last 2 Meetings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barcelona have the historical edge in recent encounters, having beaten Chelsea 3-0 in their last Champions League meeting, with the previous clash ending 1-1 at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"\" data-align=\"center\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Competition<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">14\/03\/18<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Barcelona 3-0 Chelsea<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">UEFA Champions League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">20\/02\/18<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Chelsea 1-1 Barcelona<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">UEFA Champions League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will Chelsea&#8217;s home advantage and defensive discipline be enough to halt Barcelona&#8217;s passing machine?
