Real Madrid v Chelsea

BT Sport 2, 8pm Tuesday

It is a big ask of Thomas Tuchel's men to overturn a 3-1 deficit against a Real Madrid side on a run of eight wins in nine matches but that does not mean they cannot at least match Los Blancos on the night. No side in the Premier League top six have recorded more league draws than Chelsea (eight) this season and they may have to settle for another stalemate at the Bernabeu.

Booking bet of the day

Real Madrid v Chelsea BT Sport 2, 8pm Tuesday

Chelsea will have to take the game to Real Madrid as they try to make up for their 3-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge and the Blues' attacking pressure could draw some fouls from defensive-minded midfielder Casemiro. The Brazilian has racked up 14 yellow cards in 38 appearances this season, three of which have come from seven Champions League starts. He is 8-5 with bet365 for a card.

Best bet
Casemiro to be shown a card
