Antonio Conte believes Barcelona are a good draw for Chelsea as they must face tough teams if they are to win the UCL.
Striker Alvaro Morata will miss Chelsea's Premier League clash at Huddersfield through fatigue and a back issue.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is poised to rotate his options as he seeks an immediate response to the loss at West Ham, but Morata is not available.
The Blues boss said: "Morata is out, because he's a bit tired and there is a problem in his back. He is out.''
Midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko could also be rested after his half-time substitution at the London Stadium, while midfielder Danny Drinkwater (illness) and defender David Luiz (knee) could come into contention, with both being monitored.
Provisional squad: Courtois, Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Fabregas, Drinkwater, Kante, Hazard, Pedro, Bakayoko, Moses, Kenedy, Zappacosta, Willian, Batshuayi, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Clarke-Salter, Sterling, Eduardo, Ampadu.
