Chelsea are currently at the bottom of Group E in the Champions League and are a desperate for a win against Salzburg.
This will be their new coach, Graham Potter’s first game in charge of the Blues and all eyes are on him to deliver.
Potter took charge after Chelsea’s UCL hero of two seasons ago, Thomas Tuchel was shown the door after a poor start to the season.
The Blues were stunned 1-0 by Dinamo Zagreb in their opening game, while Salzburg held Milan to a 1-1 draw.
Salzburg are competing in the UCL group stage for the 4th successive campaign, having reached the knockout stages for the first time last season.
They have won seven of their opening eight domestic games so far, and are well aware of the task at hand on Wednesday night.
