What has been said ahead of the game?

With Chelsea already through into the last-16, Potter has a chance to rotate his squad to give many a rest to recover for the final three games before the World Cup.

However, the Chelsea head coach has confirmed he will be picking a side to beat Zagreb, which may mean none, or very few, youngsters will get minutes on Wednesday.

Potter said: "It's not a time just to use youngsters for the sake of it.

"We have to try to pick a team that can win. We've used a lot of young players, they've been impressive. I've liked their character and personality."
