Chelsea is rock bottom in Group E of the UEFA Champions League and hosts table toppers AC Milan in what promises to be a thrill-a-minute encounter. The Blues head into the contest on the back of a narrow 1-2 win over Crystal Palace with Conor Gallagher scoring a 90th winner. Graham Potter, who took over the reins of Chelsea from Thomas Tuchel, will need time to implement his ideas at his new club but the London-based side is result-driven and hence he is under pressure for a quick turn in fortunes. Italian champions AC Milan are fifth in Serie A at the moment and they have lacked consistency as well. But the presence of a number of quality players gives them confidence. Chelsea versus AC Milan will be telecasted on the Sony Ten network and streamed on the Sony Liv app from 12:30 AM IST. Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur, Champions League 2022-23: Teams Play Goalless Draw (Watch Video Highlights)

Marc Cucurella and Carney Chukwuemeka are ruled out for Chelsea while N'Golo Kante and Edouard Mendy are doubts. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will lead the attack and he is likely to be flanked by Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic. Mateo Kovacic is the player that makes the side tick and he will start in central midfield with Jorginho dropping to the bench. Mason Mount has not had the best of seasons but remains a key player going forward.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Divock Origi, Theo Hernandez, and Mike Maignan are the players ruled out for AC Milan. Olivier Giroud returns to Stamford Bridge to face his former side and he will need to be tightly man-marked by the Chelsea defence. Sandro Tonali and Ismael Bennacer in the middle can wrestle control of the midfield from Chelsea given their technical abilities. Rafael Leao is the creative outlet for this side and a lot depends on him if Milan is to score.
