Chelsea vs Barcelona LIVE: Champions League match stream, latest score and goal updates | OneFootball

Champions League football is back in west London as Chelsea renew a long standing rivalry with Barcelona. Both sides go into tonight's clash with the same record after four games of this season's League Phase, though the LaLiga giants are one place above the Blues in the 36-team table by virtue of a slightly superior goal difference.

Enzo Maresca's side, however, have won both of their home games in Europe so far and are seeking to bolster hopes of a top-eight finish by beating Barca for the first time since 2012. Despite taking part in full training on Monday, Cole Palmer is forced to sit this one out.

The Blaugrana have also been dealt a huge blow with influential midfielder Pedri not able to travel with the squad to the capital, but Marcus Rashford is back in England after recovering from illness but does not start in attack alongside wonderkid Lamine Yamal.
