Welcome to the last game of the group stage, with Chelsea already assured of not only qualification to the knockout rounds, but of top spot in the group and thus being seeded for Monday’s draw.

A win for Zagreb could see them jump up to third if Salzburg also lose in Milan, but for us, there’s little on the line other than pride, vibes, and whatever other meaning we might assign to this result.

Graham Potter has pretty much opted for a full strength team, which isn't what I would have done. Far from it. And not a single Academy youth in sight. At least we got a Denis Zakaria sighting! Oh my.

Here we go!
