Graham Potter delivers Chelsea verdict on AC Milan ahead of Champions League clash

Graham Potter delivers Chelsea verdict on AC Milan ahead of Champions League clash

Chelsea will face AC Milan on Tuesday night.

Chelsea boss Graham Potter has delivered his Blues verdict ahead of their Champions League clash against AC Milan.

The west London side will face the reigning Serie A Champions at the San Siro on Tuesday night on matchday four of the group stages.

Chelsea have already tasted victory against Milan, having beaten them 3-0 at Stamford Bridge in the reverse fixture last week.

It was an important result for the club, who had lost to Dinamo Zagreb and drawn against FC Salzburg prior to the Italians' arrival.

Should Potter's side win again in Europe, then they will take one huge step closer to the Champions League last 16.

They are high on confidence at the moment, and head into the match off the back of their victory against Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday.

During his pre-match press conference, Potter commented on the prospect of claiming victory at the San Siro, a ground they haven't played at since 2010 when they faced Milan's rivals Inter.

"It's an incredible place here and a very different game," said the head coach.

"AC Milan will try to use the home advantage like we did.

"Two good teams, too evenly matched teams. I'm looking forward to it."

Chelsea are unbeaten under Potter in four matches across all competitions, with three wins and one draw to their name since his arrival at the beginning of September.

Recent Premier League victories now see them sit fourth in the table, with the triumph against Milan last week seeing them rise to second in Group E.

Later in his press conference, Potter spoke on how he has fared so far at the west London side and the need to maintain a winning culture at the club.

"Wins are the best way to convince people that your ideas can work. It's only a short time, so I'm not getting carried away at all, but wins help.

"It's about performance, getting to know the players, the process...

"But at the same time we all know, and you guys (journalists) will remind me, that you need to win as well. It's been a good week, but it's only a week."

Upon their return from action in Milan, Chelsea will be back in action in the Premier League with a trip to Aston Villa.

Before the break for the World Cup, the Blues will play their final two games in the Champions League, with an away trip to Salzburg and home tie against Zagreb still to come.
