Chelsea play hosts to Italian champions AC Milan on Wednesday night in the high-billed Champions League group stage outing at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have endured a miserable start to their continental campaign with just one point from the two games which means they sit last in the group table.
AC Milan, meanwhile, taken four points from six to stay at the summit ahead of the midweek game in the English capital which would have them lock horns with Graham Potter’s side.
Chelsea relied upon Conor Gallagher’s 90th-minute strike to secure a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace over the weekend in Potter’s first Premier League game in the dugout.

TEAM NEWS
Summer signings Marc Cucurella and Carney Chukwuemeka would both be subject to late fitness calls after sitting out the win over Palace due to illness.
Jorginho picked up a knock at Selhurst Park and could be deemed unfit for the contest against AC Milan.
Edouard Mendy and N’Golo Kante are not expected to make the squad with a knee injury and thigh trouble respectively.
