Chelsea’s hopes of winning a trophy this season could be extinguished in a do-or-die game against Borussia Dortmund tonight.
The Blues trail 1-0 in their round of 16 Champions League clash heading into the second leg, but can take encouragement from a 1-0 win over Leeds at the weekend.
The result eased the ever-increasing pressure building on Graham Potter and he will hope his side can put together a run and move into the quarter-finals.
Chelsea are down in tenth in the Premier League, 11 points adrift of the top four, meaning winning this year’s Champions League could represent their best opportunity at still being in UEFA’s premier competition next campaign.
But they have it all to do after Karim Adeyemi’s goal was enough for Dortmund to seal the win when the two sides met in the first leg.
BVB arrive in west London on an 11-game winning run yet Jude Bellingham and co have lost their last five Champions League games away from home against English sides.
