Could Chelsea reclaim their Champions League crown this season? Things were looking hairy after a 1-0 defeat at Dinamo Zagreb was followed by a 1-1 draw against Salzburg, although a 3-0 win over Milan saw the Blues get into the groove and perhaps Graham Potter can wizard another victory over the Rossoneri on 11 October.
Potter operated with Reece James and Ben Chilwell as roving wing-backs and we might see the same pair push forward in support of Raheem Sterling, Mason Mount and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with an attack-minded approach expected for a clash against the champions of Italy.
Milan don’t tend to lose many games at the San Siro and they know that a defeat here would mean that reaching the Champions League last sixteen stage is out of their hands, with the bookies expecting that both teams will find the net whatever the overall outcome of the game happens to be.
We can’t rule out the match ending all square which would mean the group remains tight, with the Champions League betting sites undecided on whether there will be Over or Under 2.5 Goals, although a draw would suit Chelsea better before clashing away to Red Bull Salzburg and then hosting Dinamo Zagreb.
