Chelsea vs RB Salzburg: Predicted lineups, kick-off time, how to watch on TV, live stream
The Graham Potter era begins on Wednesday at Stamford Bridge when Chelsea hosts Red Bull Salzburg.
The new manager will now be focused on leading Chelsea out of the slump they had entered under Thomas Tuchel and getting his first taste of Champions League action. The new manager had to wait a little longer than anticipated for his first outing.
They are the favourites against the cute underdogs Salzburg, but as past seasons have shown, you can never rule out an upset from the Austrian giants, who held AC Milan to a 1-1 draw in their opening group match.
Here’s all you need to know about this one.
