Dinamo Zagreb vs Chelsea

Follow the latest from the Champions League as Dinamo Zagreb host Chelsea in Group E.

75 mins to KO: Chelsea have been drawn in a group alongside AC Milan and Red Bull Salzburg, and Dinamo Zagreb of course. 30 mins to KO: Chelsea made a number of big signings over the summer. Orsic was released in behind the Chelsea defence, Fofana didn't have the pace to get back and make the tackle and the youngster prods the finish past Kepa and over the line! Dinamo Zagreb have taken the lead against the run of play! Sterling played the ball in behind for Havertz who had the pace advantage on his opponent. Orsic deserves a lot of credit for taking the opportunity. The away team have the ball in the back of the net, but it's been chalked off for offside. The ball was played to Ademi 20 yards out and he unleashed a ferocious strike with a lot of power! 19 mins: A period of sustained pressure from Chelsea as they search for an equaliser. Chelsea have started the second half at a higher tempo and Havertz does brilliantly to beat his man down the right side and whip a dangerous ball into the box. 38 mins: Nothing is working for Chelsea at the moment. They are giving away possession cheaply in the middle of the pitch - this time it's Kovacic who concedes the ball.

[Stefan Ristovski](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/149000/Stefan-Ristovski) went close to adding a second for the impressive Dinamo when his effort was pushed onto the crossbar by Kepa as the hosts' forays into Chelsea's final third continued to prove more fruitful than Thomas Tuchel's side's attacking exploits. Dinamo, who have conceded in every league game this season, held on and are the early trailblazers in Group E. "There's too much to analyse, I am part of this.

That will surely have been music to the ear of Dinamo supporters who will provide a more intimidating cauldron of noise than St Mary's or Elland Road. Chelsea: A win over West Ham on Saturday might have sent the Blues up the Premier League table but it could have been another frustrating weekend for Thomas Tuchel if it were not for a VAR intervention that the Premier League has requested be investigated, so contentious was it. Tottenham and Arsenal have lost away to Dinamo Zagreb in recent years and the Croatian champions are unbeaten in 19 home games across all competitions, crushing Bodo/Glimt 4-1 in the play off round to overturn a first leg deficit and reach the group stages.

Dinamo Zagreb vs Chelsea is an intriguing clash as the UEFA Champions League group stage kicks off and here is everything you need to know.

Ben Chilwell starts over Marc Cucurella after having a huge impact off the bench in their win against West Ham at the weekend but USMNT star Christian Pulisic drops to the bench with Aubameyang, Sterling and Havertz starting in attack. With Aubameyang and Zakaria able to make their debuts, Chelsea’s starting lineup looks very different with new signings Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly and Raheem Sterling all starting. Zagreb came through the qualifying rounds and beat North Macedonian side Shkupi narrowly in the second qualifying round before beating Ludogorets and then Bodo/Glimt in extra time in the playoffs to reach the group stage. I did not see that coming.” (NM) But the last six times they’ve reached the Champions League group stage they’ve finished bottom of their group on every occasion, winning just three of their last 36 games in the group stage. However, Chelsea have to improve defensively and despite some injuries in midfield, Tuchel will want to see his side step things up considerably after a slow start to the new season. (JPW) However, they have a lot of new players bedding in after a busy summer of ins and outs. It’s not determined enough. “We expected what we got,” Tuchel said. It’s not clinical enough. It’s not precise enough.

Chelsea looked poor across the board in a loss to Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb, and their start to the Champions League offered few positives.

[Marc Cucurella](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/259910/Marc-Cucurella), N/R -- Replaced Chilwell in the 71st minute and was unable to make many notable attacking moves, while he was beaten to the ball a few times while trying to defend. [Jorginho](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/165778/jorginho), 5 -- Replaced Kovacic in the 59th minute and tried to move the ball and make things happen, but couldn't manage to find a way through the Dinamo defence. [Christian Pulisic](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/225607/christian-pulisic), N/R -- Replaced Sterling in the 75th minute and tried to get into dangerous areas but couldn't quite make them count. Almost found [Armando Broja](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/291535/Armando-Broja) at the back post after doing well to reach [Jorginho](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/233721/Jorginho)'s pass. [Armando Broja](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/291535/armando-broja), 5 -- Replaced Aubameyang in the 59th minute and flashed a ball towards the front post moments after coming on as he tried to inject some extra energy into their play. [Kai Havertz](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231182/Kai-Havertz), 5 -- Had encouraging flashes with some good runs and crosses that came close to finding Aubameyang, although a poor touch let him down when there was a chance to break through later in the half. [Ben Chilwell](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/225426/ben-chilwell), 5 -- Headed away Orsic's shot well. [Reece James](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/189007/Reece-James), 5 -- Got into good positions but his passing was poor at times, as was his crossing in the first half with too many of his attempts tamely hitting [Robert Ljubicic](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/273480/Robert-Ljubicic). Got forward a lot of the time but found himself being well-marshalled by [Sadegh Moharrami](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/194870/Sadegh-Moharrami) and Stefan Ristovski. [Hakim Ziyech](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/176733/Hakim-Ziyech), 3 -- Replaced Azpilicueta at halftime and showed early intent with a shot from range, even if it didn't trouble Livakovic. His late chest to [Christian Pulisic](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/225607/Christian-Pulisic) could have ended up being an assist. Completely wasted the opportunity to counter by making a poor pass following a Dinamo mistake and didn't do much in the second period.
