Juventus and Chelsea both won on matchday 1, and this game will likely go a long ways towards deciding who will finish top of the group after matchday 6. Juventus started the season badly, but have been improving. Chelsea meanwhile are looking to bounce back from the first defeat of the season last weekend.
Given our slightly reduced numbers due to injuries, Tuchel didn’t have as much choice as usual for his lineup, so no real surprises today. Ziyech does get the nod over Werner.
