Chelsea meet Juventus in a heavyweight Champions League showdown in Turin tonight.

Thomas Tuchel’s side began the defence of their European crown with a 1-0 victory over Zenit St. Petersburg a fortnight ago, while Juve beat Swedish outfit Malmo as they rebuild following the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United.

Juventus vs Chelsea is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off on Wednesday September 29, 2021.

Juventus vs Chelsea prediction
Both managers have significant injury problems going into a clash that will - along with the reverse at Stamford Bridge - likely end up deciding who finishes top of Group H.
Chelsea’s incredible squad depth could come to the fore but you sense a draw would not be a bad result at all for Tuchel’s men.
