Chelsea face a mission-impossible task in overcoming a two-goal deficit against Real Madrid in tonight's Champions League quarter-final second-leg.
The European champions sailed to a comfortable first-leg win last week thanks to goals from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio. Frank Lampard's men must win by at least two goals if they are to have any chance of securing their place in the semi-finals.
In the weekend's 2-1 home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, Lampard rested a number of key players to give his side the best chance of knocking the European champions out of the competition.

If Chelsea are to produce another famous turnaround in SW6, they will need to produce a perfect performance. But if their recent form is anything to go by - the Blues have lost their last three games - the odds are heavily stacked against them.
Lampard will be without a number of first-team players, involving defender Kalidou Koulibaly. However, one player who is available is Christian Pulisic. The USMNT star played 56 minutes at the weekend in his first start since March 18.
In the first leg, Lampard opted for Joao Felix and Raheem Sterling in attack. However, with his side needing at least two goals, another forward is likely to be selected from the start.
Pulisic is an option, as is Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, Mykhailo Mudryk and Hakim Ziyech.
