Graham Potter takes charge for the first time as Chelsea head coach against Red Bull Salzburg in the UEFA Champions League.
Graham Potter is far from the first coach to open his Chelsea account with an evening fixture, but the omens for it are very positive. Instead, Stamford Bridge will pause for a minute’s silence prior to kick-off in memory of our late monarch. This is the first time Chelsea and the Austrian champions will meet in competitive action, with Matthias Jaissle's side drawing 1-1 at home to AC Milan last week. It is the first game of the Graham Potter era following the shock sacking of Thomas Tuchel a week ago. Salzburg's Bernardo has previously played in England in a three-year spell at Brighton, where he worked under new Chelsea boss Graham Potter. Plenty of attacking options around but seeing Azpiliueta start over Fofana and Koulibaly may be the most intriguing element.

By Adegboyega Adeleye. Graham Potter leads Chelsea as he names a Blues side for the first time. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang makes his home debut for Chelsea ...
Chelsea have only lost one of their past 20 home games in the group stage of the Champions League (won 13, drew six). Potter also admitted it’s been a “whirlwind” and tonight we will get the first signs of whether his appointment is a gamble or a shrewd choice from the club’s new owners. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang makes his home debut for Chelsea tonight and it will be his home debut after playing in the 1-0 loss against Dinamo Zagreb, which marked Thomas Tuchel’s last match in charge of the Blues.
