Chelsea Confirmed Lineup vs Barcelona: Morata benched again as Giroud starts upfront

Antonio Conte has made two changes to the side that beat Crystal Palace last weekend as Chelsea prepare to face Barcelona at Camp Nou for their Round of 16 second leg tie.

Antonio Rudiger and Victor Moses have returned to the starting lineup, with Gary Cahill and Davide Zappacosta making way for the duo. Olivier Giroud starts upfront once again, with Alvaro Morata on the bench. Cesar Azpilicueta dons the captain’s armband.

For Barcelona, on the other hand, Lionel Messi is among those returning to the starting lineup after missing last weekend’s win over Malaga. Andres Iniesta starts as well, and will lead the side, and is the only other change made by Ernesto Valverde.
