Struggling Chelsea must turn around a first-leg defeat if they are to reach the Champions League quarter-finals against Borussia Dortmund.
The Blues lost 1-0 in Germany despite creating a number of chances, and they were punished for their profligacy when Karim Adeyemi scored a superb solo goal on the break.
Graham Potter has come under increasing pressure as he battles to turn around the London club’s shocking form, but they finally got a victory over the weekend by beating Leeds United 1-0 to end a six-match winless run.
Dortmund come into the game in formidable form, winning their last 10 games in a row in all competitions.
Kick-off is at 8pm GMT.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Champions League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Champions League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Champions League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Premier League TV rights
• UK: Sky Sports and BT Sport are the two main players once again, but Amazon also have a slice of the pie in 2022/23.
• USA: NBC Sports Group are the Premier League rights holders, with the Peacock Premium streaming platform showing even more than the 175 games it aired last season. If you pick up a fuboTV subscription for the games not on Peacock Premium, you'll be able to watch every game.
• Canada: The way to watch Premier League football in 2022/23 is fuboTV, which has exclusive rights to all the action.
• Australia: Optus Sport will screen every game of the Premier League season. Non-subscribers can access the action via a Fetch TV box and other friendly streaming devices.
• New Zealand: Sky Sport are serving up all 380 games – plus various highlights and magazine shows throughout the week, as well as the Champions League.
