Chelsea host Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Wednesday night at Stamford Bridge.
Graham Potter's side have already won Group E, with Chelsea currently sitting on 10 points after beating RB Salzburg 2-1 last week in Austria.
Chelsea were bottom of Group E prior to beating AC Milan twice to turn their fortunes around which has now seen them book their spot as group winners ahead of the knockout draw next Monday.

Potter's side head into the game off the back of a 4-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, his former side, and is looking to bounce back at the first attempt.
They face a Zagreb side who can still qualify for the Europa League should they clinch victory, and RB Salzburg lose against AC Milan, in west London on Wednesday night.
"We have to have respect for the competition and other teams," said Potter ahead of the game.
