Holders of the Champions League Chelsea may be winning games, but there appears to be room for improvement, particularly in front of goal, if Thomas Tuchel's side is to have a genuine chance of winning the Premier League again in three months.

They are, at the very least, producing results, unlike Lille, the French champions. Jocelyn Gourvennec's side has won just two of their previous seven games in all competitions and is mired in Ligue 1's midtable, where they will need to quickly improve if they are to compete in Europe next season. Here's how to watch the game and what you should know.

Storylines

Chelsea: As has been the case recently at Chelsea, all eyes are on Romelu Lukaku. In Saturday's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, the Belgian set an unpleasant record for the fewest touches by a Premier League player in 90 minutes, with just seven. Lukaku has made no secret of his struggles adjusting to Tuchel's style, but his manager insists that the striker will be "part of the answer" if the system is to be changed.

"It's occasionally like this with strikers who are lacking confidence, trying to find space and get involved against a solid defensive team," he continued. It might go like this: Of course, this isn't what we want, and it's certainly not what Romelu wants. It's not the time to make jokes about him or laugh about him. We'll protect him since he's in the spotlight. "

Lille's sluggish Ligue 1 championship defense resumed at the weekend when Metz held them to a 0-0 draw at home. They are currently on a four-point streak in four games with only two goals scored. Lille, on the other hand, has found solace in the Champions League, having finished first in a difficult Group G ahead of Red Bull Salzburg, Sevilla, and Wolfsburg before Christmas.

Lille striker and US international Timothy Weah remarked, "I felt like we played some solid games against Sevilla and Salzburg." For me, it was an intriguing and wonderful event that I would never forget. I'm sure many of the lads will never forget the moment we advanced to the next round. There are many benefits, as well as some downsides, but most of them are favorable. We are quite excited about playing at Stamford Bridge.
