Chelsea, after earning just one point from their opening two games, have had a reversal in fortune as they won both their games against AC Milan to climb to the top with 7 points in 4 games.

RB Salzburg sit in second place in the table, just one point behind Chelsea. They have had a surprisingly good season in the Champions League so far, and will very much back themselves to conjure a positive result against the Premier League giants.
A lot depends on the outcome of this game. A win for Chelsea will secure their passage to the Round of 16, while a Salzburg win along with an AC Milan win will make it a three-horse race that will go right down the wire on the final matchday.

RB Salzburg XI (4-1-2-1-2): Köhn; Dedić, Wöber, Pavlović, Bernardo; Gourna-Douath, Seiwald, Kjærgaard, Sučić; Adamu, Šeško
