Chelsea face Red Bull Salzburg with Graham Potter’s side close to securing their place in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Back-to-back wins over AC Milan have seen the Blues turn around their fortunes in Europe after starting their 2022/23 Champions League campaign with a shock defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.
A stoppage-time equaliser by Casemiro stopped Chelsea from picking up three points at home to Manchester United on Saturday, but the Blues will be favourites to return to winning ways in Austria.
Red Bull Salzburg kick off the match sitting in second place in Group E. A result against Chelsea would boost their chances of making the last-16.
