Chelsea will be hoping to get their first win under new boss Graham Potter when they take on RB Salzburg in their second 2022-23 Champions League group stage match on Wednesday. This will be the Blues' first face-off against the Austrian league champions in Europe.
Chelsea lost 1-0 to Dinamo Zagreb away from home in their Champions League opener and will want to get their continental campaign back on track. The Blues' defeat in their first group game was Thomas Tuchel's last outing as Chelsea manager and now it will now be upon former Brighton boss Potter to guide the 2020-21 European champions back to their glory days.
RB Salzburg are in excellent form ahead of their big clash against the Premier League side, having won all their last five league games. Noah Okafor scored a first-half goal as the Austrian side held AC Milan to a 1-1 draw in their group opener.
