Fabergas expects Barca to beat Chelsea

Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas believes his former club Barcelona are favourites to avenge last season’s Champions League defeat by Chelsea when the two sides meet again in the last 16.

Fabregas, who came through the youth ranks at the Nou Camp before being snapped up by the Gunners, believes Barca are an improved team from the one that was defeated by Chelsea over two legs in the same competition last season.
