Chelsea head to Croatia for Tuesday night’s Champions League group stage curtain raiser. The Blues, who are very much inconsistent right now, will hope to get their Champions League campaign up and running.



Thomas Tuchel’s team came from behind to defeat West Ham at the weekend 2-1 at home, but critics of the match claim Chelsea benefitted from a favourable VAR call, which overturned a Hammers’ equaliser. The call was correct, however.

Dinamo Zagreb are in fine form in the Croatian Division 1. Tuesday’s home team is unbeaten in eight matches and tops the league by eight points already.



These teams have not played previously in European competition. This season’s Champions League has thrown up a few matches between teams that have not met before or in some time. This is one of those matches giving fans the chance to see something different.



Raheem Sterling leads Chelsea in goals this season with three in the Premier League. Sterling will likely start in attack unless Tuchel decides to make an adjustment to the Chelsea attack. However, Tuchel will want to get off to a strong start and playing Sterling will help the Blues’ cause in Croatia.
