Chelsea kick off their 2022/2023 Champions League campaign with a trip to Croatia to face domestic champions Dinamo Zagreb.
After being knocked out in the semi-final last season by eventual winners Real Madrid, Thomas Tuchel and his men will be looking to repeat their success of 2021and bring the trophy back to West London.
New owner Todd Boehly has certainly given his club the facilities to do so, with a record summer spending spree of £272 million, which saw them bring in the likes of Koulibaly, Fofana, Sterling and Aubameyang.
After only gaining 10 points from their first 6 games, Chelsea fans will be eager for their team to pick up some winning form. The Blues will need to put in an impressive performance to take three points from a Dinamo Zagreb side who are yet to lose in their first 8 games of the Croatian First Football League.

Although the 5 time Premier League winners will feel confident of winning the group, there are certainly no easy games and they will want to get off to a strong start this evening.

After impressive cameos off the bench in their win against West Ham, Chillwell and Havertz may feel they have earned their place back in the XI this evening.
After beating Bodo/Glimt in the last round of Champions League qualifying, Zagreb manager, Ante Cacic, gave many of his main side a rest last friday in the domestic league.
However it is likely Caci reverts back to the starting lineup that beat the Norwegian club and it is a team that centres around star man Mislav Orsic, who has scored eight goals already this season.
