Chelsea take a needed break from Premier League play to refocus on the return of the Champions League as they visit Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Round of 16 matchup.
The Blues are sitting ninth in the Premier League table, and could use an overseas refresh as they visit the German side.
Dortmund, meanwhile, present a difficult challenge on recent form, having won all seven of their matches since the return of play following the World Cup. Jude Bellingham has been sensational in midfield, returning from World Cup action with England and bringing his stellar form with him.
Shockingly, these two European giants have never faced off, playing against one another for the first time on Wednesday.
