Chelsea vs Dinamo Zagreb

With nothing to play for, Chelsea could be in for a shocking upset loss to Dinamo Zagreb today.

Meanwhile, Zagreb will be smelling blood after they upset the Blues in Croatia a couple of months ago. Over their last three matches Chelsea have allowed six goals on 4.0 expected (1.33 xGA per match), which suggests that Dinamo Zagreb could find some success going forward on Wednesday. The Blues are also coming off a 4-1 loss away to Brighton — Potter’s former team — in which they were played off the park. While the situational spot plays a big part in this handicap, it isn’t the only signal pointing to a potential upset in London. That would be a huge deal for a team like Zagreb, who play in the Croatian first division. There are others where neither team has anything at stake.

Other than Robert Di Matteo no Chelsea manager has emerged victorious in his first five Champions League games, a record that Graham Potter would be eyeing.

Although Dinamo Zagreb’s Champions League dream will come to an end at the conclusion of the game, the Croatian side could still steal a Europa League spot. Ante Cacic’s men would want to replicate their performance from the reverse fixture, a game that saw the end of Chelsea’s previous manager Thomas Tuchel. Since donning the managerial hat at Stamford Bridge, Graham Potter has transformed Chelsea into a formidable outfit.

On TV: BT Sport 2 (UK); none (USA); none? At least we got a Denis Zakaria sighting! And not a single Academy youth in sight.

There's plenty on the line as the regular season come to an end and teams look to improve their spot in the knockout round.

Potter left Brighton in September to take over Chelsea after the sacking of Thomas Tuchel and had gone undefeated in nine games in all competitions. However, Pascal Gross padded the scoreline for Brighton in injury time to remove any lingering Chelsea hopes. No matter what happens today, Chelsea has already clinched a spot in the knockout phase.

Chelsea vs Dinamo Zagreb recap: The Blues wrapped up play in UEFA Champions League Group E with a 2-1 comeback victory over the Croatian champions.

We should see a reaction from Chelsea but they will have one eye on the big London derby against current Premier League leaders Arsenal at the weekend. Reece James, Fofana, Kante and Kepa are all out with injury, while Koulibaly is a doubt and Kovacic did not train ahead of the game against his boyhood club. He’s gone with a 3-4-2-1 formation for most of his time in charge so far but he’s been very flexible with hybrid wing backs and switching to a back four during games. They will sit deep and try to stay in the game with 30 minutes to go and then go for it. It will be intriguing to see how Chelsea responds to their hammering at Brighton at the weekend. After joining the club just before the transfer deadline this summer, Denis Zakaria made his long awaited Chelsea debut and marked the occasion with the winning goal in the 30th minute.

Graham Potter will be hoping to see a reaction from his Chelsea side as they host Dinamo Zagreb in their final Champions League group stage game.
