We're back under way at Stamford Bridge.22:04

Thomas Tuchel will be pleased with his side's performance in the first half, although he will be looking for a cutting edge to take the game away from the Italian outift. Christian Pulisic has been quiet and Tuchel may turn to Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku for inspiration.21:51

Since beating Juventus in the first ever meeting between the two clubs (1-0 in the UEFA Champions League in February 2009), Chelsea are winless in their last four games against the Italian side in European competition (D2 L2).20:49

Juve have made two changes to their side that beat Lazio last time out. Danilo misses out for the Bianconeri, which sees Cuadrado slide into the back four. Alex Sandro returns for the visitors along with Bentancur, who replaces Luca Pellegrini. Former Chelsea forward Morata spearheads the attack alongside Chiesa. Giorgio Chiellini, Federico Bernardeschi and Mattia De Sciglio are still sidelined with injuries.20:50

Chelsea have made two changes from their win over Leicester City at the weekend. Pulisic and Ziyech come into the fold to replace Mount and Kai Havertz, who misses out for the Blues due to injury. Lukaku returns to the bench for the Blues after a spell on the sidelines, but Mateo Kovacic remains out.20:45

JUVENTUS SUBS: Arthur, Paulo Dybala, Moise Kean, Carlo Pinsoglio, Daniele Rugani, Mattia Perin, Dejan Kulusevski, Koni de Winter.20:43

JUVENTUS (4-4-2): Wojciech Szczesny; Juan Cuadrado, Leonardo Bonucci, Matthijs de Ligt, Alex Sandro; Adrien Rabiot, Manuel Locatelli, Rodrigo Bentancur, Weston McKennie; Alvaro Morata, Federico Chiesa.20:41

CHELSEA SUBS: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Marcos Alonso, Andreas Christensen, Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Marcus Bettinelli, Saul Niguez, Ross Barkley, Mason Mount, Cesar Azpilicueta, Malang Sarr.20:39

Juventus have already booked their place in the last 16 of the Champions League, winning all four of their Group H matches to date. The Bianconeri can ensure that they advance into the next round of the competition as group winners by defeating Chelsea tonight. Juve have reeled off three wins on the bounce, including an impressive 2-0 win over Lazio at the weekend. Massimiliano Allegri’s men will be out to thwart the holders tonight.23:01

Chelsea know that a point will be good enough to secure their place in the round of 16 after their win over Malmo last time out in the competition. However, revenge will be firmly on the minds of the Blues after suffering a defeat at the hands of Juve in the reverse fixture. Thomas Tuchel and his team are in outstanding form after brushing aside Leicester City last week, and he will be looking for a performance of similar authority.20:30
