Chelsea Team News
If Chelsea is eliminated in the Champions League, they will definitely be left without a single trophy this season. In the Premier League, they are currently only in the tenth position in the table with 34 points won, and even 19 less than the first-placed Arsenal.
In the last match in the league, they defeated Leeds 1:0 at home, and until this victory, they had not triumphed in the previous six games. In that meeting, in the first half, the guests resisted the attacks of the Blues, and the only goal was scored by Wesley Fofana in the 53rd minute, assisted by Ben Chilwell.
Graham Potter has big problems with injured players, and the list includes Armando Broja, Edouard Mendy, Cesar Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva. Christian Pulisic, N’Golo Kante and Reece James are question marks, but there is a chance for them to be fit. Mason Mount is suspended due to yellow cards, while Benoit Badiashile and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are not registered for the knockout phase of the Champions League.
If James is ready, Ruben Loftus-Cheek will probably be on the bench for reserve players, while Badiashile should be replaced by Trevoh Chalobah. There should be no other changes in the starting 11 compared to the match with Leeds.
A big one tomorrow! 🤩#UCL pic.twitter.com/2ZnVJ74UbX

Borussia Dortmund Team News
Borussia Dortmund recorded all the victories in the new calendar year. The millionaires have won ten in a row in all competitions, and they are currently tied for first place in the Bundesliga with 49 points, the same number as Bayern Munich.
In the last league match, in the round derby, they defeated RB Leipzig at home with 2:1. Both goals were scored in the first half through Marco Reus and Emre Can. In the 74th minute, the guests managed to reduce the advantage of the home team, but they did not fully return to the match.
Borussia coach Edin Terzić also has problems with injured players. The scorer of the only goal in the first game with Chelsea, Karim Adeyemi, injured his thigh muscle. Besides him, Youssoufa Moukoko, Mateu Morey, Abdoulaye Kamara, Donyell Malen and Julien Duranville will not be available to him. Julian Ryerson will not play in the ranks of Dortmund due to suspension. The first goalkeeper of The Millionaires, Gregor Kobel, is also under question.
If Kobel is not ready, Alexander Meyer will replace him, while Raphael Guerreiro will probably play instead of the suspended Ryerson. But we have to see.
