“If he’s in his best form Chelsea will beat Real Madrid” – Steve Nicol says of Chelsea player ahead of UCL clash
Chelsea face a shocking 4-1 defeat this weekend and the Blues will be looking forward to be back to winning was ahead of Champions league clash against Real Madrid
Meanwhile, Steve Nicol believes Kai Havertz must be in great form if the Blues are to beat Real Madrid on Wednesday night at Stamford Bridge.
Havertz missed several chances in the 4-1 defeat to Brentford on Saturday and Nicol is concerned the Blues are too reliant on the German offensively.
Nicol said about Chelsea’s form ahead of Real Madrid’s visit on ESPN FC: “Defensively, they’ll shake it off.
“I think the biggest worry is who’s scoring goals for them.
“It seems that if Havertz is not on his game, where are the goals coming from? You’ll have to rely on Ziyech coming in from the left and sticking one in the top corner.
“Because you’re not getting any goals from anywhere else particularly.
“So, I’d suggest that defensively is the least of their worries. If I were them, I’d be worried about how we’re going to score goals in this game.”
