A high-flying Chelsea side will be looking to make it a quick-fire double over the Serie A champions AC Milan when they make the travels to San Siro in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Graham Potter’s men registered a convincing 3-0 win over AC Milan last week at Stamford Bridge in a much-needed boost to their ambitions of making it through the group stage after a shaky start to their European campaign.
Milan head into the upcoming contest on the back of a well-earned victory against local rivals Juventus in Serie A over the weekend with the former Chelsea man Fikayo Tomori and Brahim Diaz finding the back of the net.
Chelsea, meanwhile, continued their rich vein of form under Graham Potter’s charge with a 3-0 win over Wolves in the Premier League despite Potter ringing in as many as seven changes from the Milan clash last Wednesday.
