CHELSEA make the short trip to Lille as they look to book a Champions League quarter-final place.

And they will be very glad it is a short trip as they have had their matchday transport budget restricted by government sanctions on Roman Abramovich.

Boss Thomas Tuchel even joked that he will drive a seven-seater to the match if the club can no longer afford a jet.

But the Blues should be reasonably confident of qualifying for the last eight after a comfortable 2-0 victory in the first leg.

However, they will need to be wary as away goals no longer count double, meaning any two-goal defeat will see the game go to extra time regardless of how many goals Chelsea score in France.
