Chelsea and AC Milan will take each other on in a UEFA Champions League group E match at Stamford Bridge in London.

Group topper Milan, yet to lose a match so far, will look to solidify its top spot with a win against an unsettled Chelsea side. Milan will have momentum on its side coming from a 3-1 win against Dinamo Zagreb.

Chelsea on the other hand, will be looking to make amends to its playing 11. While its midfield has shown improvements after Potter’s arrival, its attack still has a long way to go. Aubameyang, who scored in Premier League last week, will be the center of attraction in the Chelsea attack.

Chelsea and Milan have played each other only twice in the Champions League with both games ending in a draw.
