Team News
Real Madrid
Real Madrid centre-back Eder Militao was fine to play the full 90 at the weekend despite coming off at Stamford Bridge, but the Brazilian will be watching from the naughty step this week as he serves a suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards.

Former Chelsea man Eden Hazard remains in the treatment room alongside Isco, but backup striker Luka Jovic has shaken off an ankle injury and centre-back Jesus Vallejo is absent after contracting COVID-19.

Ferland Mendy was rested at the weekend and should be fine to take Marcelo's place at left-back, while Nacho Fernandez should deputise for the suspended Militao, and Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are both refreshed after watching the win against Getafe from the substitutes' bench.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Carvajal, Nacho, Alaba, Mendy; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Asensio, Benzema, Vinicius Jr

Chelsea
Chelsea have a similar number of fitness concerns to deal with ahead of the second leg, with long-term absentee Ben Chilwell definitely out alongside Callum Hudson-Odoi, who has suffered a setback in his recovery from an Achilles issue.

Romelu Lukaku also missed the win at Southampton with Achilles pain and will sit out the Bernabeu trip, but Cesar Azpilicueta has tested negative for COVID-19 and is set to make the journey. However, Ross Barkley is now sick himself and is absent.

Tuchel was able to bring Havertz, Mount and Thiago Silva off early at St Mary's, but Werner's brace may not be enough to see him retain his spot over Hakim Ziyech or Christian Pulisic.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Mendy; Christensen, Silva, Rudiger; James, Kovacic, Kante, Alonso; Ziyech, Mount; Havertz
Prediction:Real Madrid 2-2 Chelsea (Real Madrid win 5-3 on aggregate)
