Graham Potter will take charge of his first game as Chelsea boss tonight as the Blues host RB Salzburg at Stamford Bridge.
Despite concerns surrounding policing in London following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the contest is set to go ahead.
In the Champions League last time out, Chelsea suffered a shock 1-0 defeat in Croatia at the hands of Dinamo Zagreb.
And following the disappointing defeat on the continent, Thomas Tuchel received his marching orders from Chelsea owner Todd Boehly.

They then went on to beat Ried 3-0 to cement their spot as league leaders.

Chelsea team news
Chelsea’s Premier League fixture with Liverpool at the weekend has been postponed due to policing issues so Graham Potter has an opportunity to field a full-strength side against Salzburg.
The only notable absentee will be N’Golo Kante who is carrying a hamstring injury which could keep him side-lined until after the upcoming international break.
Potter’s team selection will of course be of specific interest to Chelsea fans as he begins to figure out what he perceives to be the Blues’ best starting XI.
RB Salzburg team news
Salzburg on the other hand have a whole host of injury problems at the moment.
Up to 10 Salzburg players are believed to be unavailable for the trip to London this evening.
Teenage starlet Benjamin Sesko, who was linked with a move to Chelsea over the summer, is available for selection though after overcoming a recent knock.
