• Chelsea are winless in the Champions League this season ahead of their clash with AC Milan on Wednesday night
• The Graham Potter-tutored side have managed just a point from two of their previous fixtures on the continental stage
• The Blues boss will therefore be keen to name a strong team to take on Milan as they hunt for their first win in the tournament
• Potter has already been handed a triple injury boost in N'Golo Kante, Edouard Mendy, and Marc Cucurella

Chelsea will be desperate to get their Champions League campaign back on track when they take on AC Milan on Wednesday night, October 5.

The Blues have endured a disastrous start on the continental stage, managing just a point in two outings.

The woeful run of form has them sitting bottom of Group E, with Milan topping the charts with four points.

Graham Potter's men will therefore be keen to earn maximum points against Milan when they face off at Stamford Bridge to increase their chances of qualifying for the competition's knockout round.

The match will be Potter's third in charge of the west Londoners, having led them in one Premier League match and one UCL fixture since he took charge earlier in September.

Given how crucial the match is, the English tactician will be looking to parade a strong side that can get the job done at home.

Potter already has a triple injury boost in the shape of Edouard Mendy, N'Golo Kante, and Marc Cucurella, with the trio expected to feature against the Italian giants.

Should that be the case, Mendy could potentially take his place between the sticks, with Cucurella partnering Wesley Fofana and Thiago Silva in a back three.

Kante is expected to join Jorginho in the middle of the park as Reece James and Raheem Sterling play on either flank of the pitch.

Mason Mount could be deployed in the No.10 role, with Kai Havertz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leading the goal hunt.
