The Portuguese side come into this after beating Santa Clara 2-1 at home with strikes from Oliveira and Martinez sealing the points. Porto are 2^nd in the points table and are eight points behind league leaders, Sporting CP.

Chelsea, on the other hand suffered a shocking 5-2 loss at home to relegation battling West Bromwich Albion to finally break the 14-match unbeaten streak of new boss, Thomas Tuchel.

This loss has pushed Chelsea out of the top 4 and puts pressure on the Blues for the rest of the campaign as they look to get back into Champions League football next season.

The Blues will be slight favourites against Porto tonight and look to get an advantage before the return leg next week.

These two sides faced each other in 2015 last with Chelsea winning 2-0 through Marcano’s own goal and Willian’s strike.

Team News

Taremi and Oliveira are suspended for this match. The former was given a straight red for his show of emotions on the field while Oliveira received 2 bookings in the knockouts which keeps him out for this one.

Tuchel will be fretting on the fitness of Pulisic, who suffered a hamstring injury during the league match at home against West Brom and Kanté as well.

The Frenchman also suffered a hamstring injury but during international break.

Both remain doubtful for this clash.

FC Porto possible 11:

Marchesin, Manafa, Mbemba, Pepe, Sanusi, Corona, Uribe, Grujic, Otávio, Diaz and Marega.

Chelsea possible 11:

Mendy, Rüdiger, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Chilwell, Kovacic, Jorginho, Hudson-Odoi, Mount, Havertz and Giroud.

Chelsea 2-0 Atlético de Madrid; Ziyech and Emerson’s goal Knock out Atletico de Madrid, Chelsea qualifies for UCL quarterfinal

Prediction: FC Porto 0-1 Chelsea

We expect a slender win for Chelsea due to their consistent form shown over time.

Porto will look to Pepe for a similar performance like the one against Juventus in the 2^nd leg.

It will be a cagey affair but the Blues should take home the advantage.

Players to watch out for: Jorginho, Havertz, Marega, Pepe.
