Dinamo Zagreb vs Chelsea live stream, Tuesday 6 September, 5.45pm
Chelsea will begin their Champions League campaign against Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday.
Thomas Tuchel's side have made an unconvincing start to the 2022/23 Premier League campaign. An uneventful 1-0 victory over Everton on the opening weekend was followed by an entertaining 2-2 draw with Tottenham, a match Chelsea were unfortunate not to win.
Since then, though, the Blues have struggled. They crashed and burned in a 3-0 defeat by Leeds, then followed up a 2-1 win against Leicester with a loss by the same scoreline to Southampton.
Matchday six brought Chelsea all three points against West Ham, but their performance left a lot to be desired. It is not just that the Hammers had a goal controversially chalked off by the video assistant referee late on.
It is also the fact that Chelsea did not play particularly well in any part of the match. They have not kept a clean sheet since the opening day of the campaign and do not look inspired in attack either. Tuchel has plenty of work to do if Chelsea are to fulfil their objectives this term.
Among their ambitions will be a run to the latter stages of the Champions League. Chelsea have been drawn alongside AC Milan, Red Bull Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb in the group phase. It is the sort of group they should be able to negotiate, but one which could contain an upset if Chelsea continue to stutter.
Dinamo have made a fantastic start to their domestic season, winning seven of their first eight matches. Needless to say, Chelsea will pose a sterner test than anything they have come up against so far.
Tuchel will have to make do without N'Golo Kante for the trip to Croatia, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Denis Zakaria are in line to make their debuts for the club after joining Chelsea late in the summer transfer window.
Kick-off is at 5.45pm BST on Tuesday 6 September and is being shown on BT Sport 4. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
