Lille v Chelsea live stream and confirmed team news: Blues look to progress to Champions League quarter-finals despite growing uncertainty around Stamford Bridge

Chelsea travel to France tonight as they look to progress into the Champions League quarter-finals.

There is so much uncertainty around the club at the moment, but ever since the news broke about Roman Abramovich’s sanctions, the Blues have won both games.

There had been some concern over Chelsea’s travel plans, with the west Londoners not allowed to spend more than £20,000 on away games.

This led Tuchel to suggest that he would drive a seven-seater to help get the team to France.

However, it appears as if that won’t be necessary as the club’s travel arrangements were organised before the sanctions were imposed.

Despite all of their problems away from the pitch, the Blues have racked up four wins in a row and arrive in Lille with a two-goal advantage.

Goals from Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic were enough for the Blues to record a win at Stamford Bridge.

The Ligue 1 side are unbeaten since they lost to Chelsea and haven’t conceded a goal.

However, Tuchel’s side are in good form and you would expect the Blues to make it into the next round.
