Match preview

Can Chelsea wrap up first place in Group E with a game to spare?

After two games, the Blues appeared to be in a bit of trouble, having lost in Zagreb and then only drawn when Salzburg visited West London.

Nevertheless, Graham Potter’s team have since beaten A.C. Milan both home and away, thereby moving top of this section.

Jorginho and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on target at San Siro, with the game’s key moment an early red card for Fikayo Tomori.

So, a victory for Chelsea in Austria will see them qualify for the round of 16, and they’ll be mathematically assured of top spot, unless Dinamo Zagreb enjoy a shock win later on Tuesday.

RB Salzburg meanwhile begin matchday five in second place, very much hoping to stay there, at least.

Matthias Jaissle’s side are still unbeaten, mustering a hat-trick of 1-1 draws, as well as a 1-0 home win over GNK Dinamo.

Noah Okafor had scored all three of their goals, until Nicolas Seiwald broke the deadlock in the Croatian capital.

The Austrian Champions qualified for the knockout stages for the very first time last season, and are desperate to be travelling to Milan still above their hosts ahead of matchday six.

Will Chelsea get the job done at Stadion Wals-Siezenheim?
