Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea have both confirmed their line-ups for this evening’s UEFA Champions League last-16 first-leg tie, as Kai Havertz, Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix and Hakim Ziyech comprise the Blues’ front-four.
Chelsea head to Dortmund for the first-leg of their last-16 UEFA Champions League tie this evening. The hosts are in excellent form at the minute, having won every single game since returning from the World Cup, as they sit third in the Bundesliga table, three points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
Graham Potter’s side are quite the opposite when it comes to form. Since their return after the World Cup, the Blues have managed just one win from eight matches in all competitions.
Borussia Dortmund Line-Up
Starting XI: Kobel, Wolf, Sule, Schlotterbeck, Guerreiro; Can, Bellingham (C), Ozcan; Brandt, Adeyemi, Haller
Substitutes: Meyer, Coulibaly, Rothe, Hummels, Meunier, Dahoud, Reyna, Bynoe-Gittens, Ryerson, Reus, Malen, Modeste
Englishman Jude Bellingham captains the Dortmund side in the absence of Mats Hummels and Marco Reus.
Former Manchester City youngster Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is named on the bench, as Sebastian Haller makes his first Champions League start of the season.

Potter makes three changes from the side that drew with West Ham at the weekend. Marc Cucurella, Benoit Badiashile and Noni Madueke all drop out of the line-up, and are replaced by Ben Chilwell, Kalidou Koulibaly and Hakim Ziyech.
Raheem Sterling misses out on this one after picking up an injury in training.
