Chelsea form

Chelsea have won seven of our last nine Champions League home games, with the exceptions being a 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid in last season's quarter-final and a 1-1 draw with RB Salzburg in this season's group stage.

Chelsea are looking to win three consecutive round of 16 home games in the Champions League for the first time since 2006/07 to 2008/09.

The Blues have won nine of the 17 European ties in which we had a first-leg deficit to overturn at Stamford Bridge, but lost the most recent, against Paris Saint-Germain at this stage of the 2015/16 Champions League (1-2 away, 1-2 home). We have won all four of the ties in which we lost the away first leg 1-0, most recently against Steaua Bucharest in the round of 16 of our victorious Europa League campaign in 2012/13 (3-1 home). In all four cases, we won the second leg by a two-goal margin.

Chelsea's Champions League record in the round of 16 is 10 wins and six defeats. Last season we beat Lille at this stage 4-1 on aggregate.

The Blues had eight shots on target in the first leg in Dortmund, our highest number of shots on target without scoring on record (since 2003/04) in a single Champions League match.

Kai Havertz has had more shots (16) and more touches in the opposition box (36) than any other Chelsea player in this season’s competition. He was involved in eight of our 21 attempts in the first leg, having four shots and creating four chances.
