Chelsea vs. Dinamo Zagreb live stream: Champions League pick, TV channel, watch online, odds, start time

Dinamo Zagreb travel to London hoping to end their Champions League campaign as they begun it, with a victory over Chelsea. This time the rewards could be more than just bragging rights; if AC Milan do them a favor in the other game then they could qualify for the Europa League knockout rounds.

Graham Potter will be acutely aware of what happened to his predecessor Thomas Tuchel when he lost to Dinamo; though that is not a remotely realistic prospect for the current Chelsea head coach he can ill afford to follow up a heavy defeat to Brighton with a Champions League loss, even if his side are already assured of top spot.

Storylines

Chelsea: One could easily imagine that we will see a significantly weakened Chelsea side take to the field at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, not only because top spot is already wrapped up for the Blues but because of the looming threat of Arsenal’s visit to west London on Sunday morning. He also needs to protect his options in defense, with Reece James and Wesley Fofana likely out and this game potentially coming too soon for Kalidou Koulibably to play a full role. Mateo Kovacic and Kepa Arrizabalaga were also missing from training on Tuesday.

Still, Potter will be eager to see his side return to winning ways after a bruising defeat to his former club at the weekend. At a club like Chelsea, consecutive defeats constitutes a crisis and much of the good work the new manager has done since his appointment could be put in the shade by a loss, even in a dead rubber.

Dinamo Zagreb: Leading the way in comfortable fashion in their domestic league despite their shock loss at Osijek on Saturday, Dinamo can afford to swing for the fences in pursuit of further European football. Notably Mislav Orsic was held in reserve for 89 minutes in Slavonia at the weekend, the ferocious winger has an outstanding record against London opposition that includes the winner against the Blues at the Stadion Maksimir in September.

Prediction

Had Chelsea beaten Brighton in midweek one might have expected them to take their foot off the gas on Wednesday. Instead expect them to push for a convincing victory. PICK: Chelsea 2, Dinamo Zagreb 0
