For Chelsea and Potter, it is a game to get back to winning ways after a 4-1 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend.
"We have to have respect for the competition and other teams,” responded Potter on how Brighton defeat will shape Chelsea’s approach versus Zagreb.
“We have to prepare to win, we are at home, we want to finish off well.
“We want to respond from the weekend. We will pick a team we think can win."
The Chelsea head coach added: “We are at home so we need to be the protagonists, try to create and be on the front foot."
With Kepa Arrizabalaga out through injury, Edouard Mendy starts and Potter insists he's ready to take his chance, continuing: "He's been great, top professional, very supportive, and was injured when we first arrived. He knows sometimes you have to be patient, work hard and support the team and Kepa.
"He's made sure he's ready. Now he's got the opportunity. He's ready."
