[Teams] Juventus vs Chelsea: Confirmed Line-ups

Chelsea are in Italy to take on Serie A champions Juventus in the penultimate game of the Champions League group stages.

The defending champions head into the game sitting joint top of Group E with Shakhtar Donetsk, one point ahead of the host Juve, so tonight’s result will go a long way to shaping how the table ends up.
