Chelsea vs. Barcelona Picks
Two seriously in form teams going at it at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have looked good this season but have yet to show it on the big stage whereas Barcelona are also yet to hit top gear.
Lamine Yamal could really be the x-factor in this one and could be the difference between the two team. It’s that quality that has me believing they steal the win in London.
Other markets include Robert Lewandowski to score two or more goals, Pedro Neto to have two or more shots on target and Marcus Rashford to score a free-kick.
