Chelsea welcome Borussia Dortmund at Stamford Bridge in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night as the Blues hope to turn around a 1-0 defeat in the first leg.
Graham Potter’s men brought their winless run to an end with a 1-0 win over relegation-threatened Leeds United last time out with a goal from Wesley Fofana clinching the three points for his team.
Dortmund, meanwhile, secured a narrow win over title challengers RB Leipzig in their previous outing as the Bundesliga giants will head into the upcoming contest full of confidence.

TEAM NEWS
Benoit Badiashile, who put in a terrific showing in the win over Leeds, will be dropping out of the first XI on Tuesday with the French defender not in the Blues’ Champions League squad.
The injured Thiago Silva’s absence could open the door for Trevoh Chalobah to join the Chelsea backline alongside Kalidou Koulibaly and Fofana.
Reece James could be in line for a return to the team sheet after the England wing-back sat out the Leeds clash with a slight strain.
MATCH PREDICTION
Chelsea edge out Dortmund as the favorites for Tuesday night’s Stamford Bridge showdown with the home support likely to play a deciding factor.
