UCL: How Chelsea could lineup against Salzburg with Graham Potter making his Debut as Chelsea’s Manager in Stamford Bridge.

Last week, Chelsea suffered a 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb, which lost Thomas Tuchel his job. After Saturday’s West London Derby was postponed due to the passing of the Queen, Graham Potter has taken over as his replacement, and today will be his first game in command. Salzburg is unbeaten in seven games and has won six despite having a long list of injuries. The only hiccup in that streak was last week’s 1-1 draw with AC Milan. The Chelsea team will want to make a good first impression on their new coach, and they should succeed on Wednesday night at Stamford Bridge.
