Chelsea host Dynamo Kiev in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16 this week
Chelsea appear to have bounced back from a tough spell in February and will hope to make their quality show against Dynamo Kiev.
The Blues were demolished 6-0 by Manchester City less than a month ago but appear to have clawed their way back into form since then.
They produced a valiant display to draw 0-0 with City in the Carabao Cup but despite losing the penalty shoot-out, Chelsea banished their disappointment with wins over London rivals Tottenham and Fulham.
Maurizio Sarri’s men beat Malmo 5-1 on aggregate in the Europa League round of 32 and will be hoping for equally safe passage into the quarter-finals.
Dynamo Kiev ground out a narrow win over Olympiakos in the last round and are perched second in the Ukrainian Premier League behind Shakhtar Donetsk.

Dynamo have played just four games in 2019 due to their winter break but quickly got back into full swing with a 5-0 win over Zorya – the fourth-placed team in the Ukrainian top flight – and their triumph over Olympiakos.
Chelsea shouldn’t underestimate the shrewd operators who have featured in a European competition every season since 1990.
Still, the Blues’ mini-revival offers plenty of hope they can get the job done in the first leg.
