Chelsea vs. Barcelona live stream, odds: How to watch Champions League, predicted lineups, pick

Chelsea will host Barcelona on Tuesday on Matchday 5 of the Champions League league phase. The English side, after losing the opening away game against Bayern Munich, won twice against Benfica and Ajax before an away draw at Qarabag, currently sitting in 12th place with seven points. Barcelona followed a similar path, sitting in 11th place with seven points after beating Newcastle, losing to PSG, then producing a 6–1 win over Olympiacos and a 3–3 draw away to Club Brugge. Tuesday’s match will also be the first time Lamine Yamal plays in England in an official match as he missed the away match against Newcastle due to his ongoing groin pain. He will face Estevao, Chelsea’s top scorer in the Champions League this season with two goals, scoring in each of his first two starts in the competition. He could become the second youngest player to score in each of his first three Champions League starts. Here’s all you need to know ahead of Tuesday’s game.
