Chelsea face Dinamo Zagreb at Stamford Bridge in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
The headline news is that Denis Zakaria starts his first game for his loan club, 3 months after arriving on loan. What a happy day for him.
There’s another notable selection up front. We were sure that Armando Broja would get a start – but Graham Potter has gone with the out of form veteran Pierre Emerick Aubameyang.
That is frustrating – but perhaps it means he’s being lined up for a start at the weekend? That’s the best reasoning we can come up with, anyway.
It’s a full strength team essentially, with Mendy in goal, a back 4 of Trevoh, Azpi, K2 and Chilwell, Zakaria and Jorginho in midfield, then a fluid front 4 of Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Raheem Sterling.
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Dinamo Zagreb (kick off at 20:00 pm GMT)
