Red Bull Salzburg vs Chelsea live stream and match preview
Looking for a Red Bull Salzburg vs Chelsea live stream? We've got you covered with our handy guide.
Graham Potter's side saw their five-match winning streak in all competitions come to an end last week, as Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw by Brentford in the Premier League. Another stalemate followed on Saturday, as Manchester United struck late to leave Stamford Bridge with a point.
Potter remains unbeaten as Chelsea manager, though, and he will be looking to protect that record in Austria this week. After a poor start to their Champions League campaign, Chelsea got back on track in impressive fashion with home-and-away victories over AC Milan.
The Blues therefore go into Tuesday's encounter occupying top spot in Group E. They are a point clear of Salzburg in second and hold a three-point advantage over both Milan and Dinamo Zagreb. A third consecutive Champions League win would secure Chelsea's place in the round of 16 with a game to spare.
Salzburg will have something to say about that, of course. They drew 1-1 in west London in Potter's first game in charge and are the only team in the group yet to taste defeat.
Chelsea will have to make do without N'Golo Kante, Wesley Fofana and Reece James, but Kalidou Koulibaly could be fit enough to feature in some capacity. Mason Mount is one booking away from serving a one-game ban - although that would not be the worse thing if Chelsea are winning comfortably.
Salzburg boss Matthias Jaissle will need to find alternatives to Luka Sucic, Justin Omoregie, Fernando, Ousmane Diakite, Nicolas Capaldo and Sekou Koita.
Chelsea line-up
3-4-3: Kepa; Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Cucurella; Sterling, Kovacic, Jorginho, Pulisic; Gallagher, Aubameyang, Havertz

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Champions League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Champions 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.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
International TV rights
• UK: BT Sport – which you can get with a non-subscription £25 monthly pass
• USA: Paramount Plus – plans start at $4.99 a month with a seven day free trial
• Canada: DAZN – which you can get with a non-subscription $24.99 monthly pass
• Australia: Stan Sport – this is from $20 a month (including a $10 Stan basic subscription) and comes with a seven day free trial
• New Zealand: Spark Sport – a subscription is $24.99 a month, with a seven day free trial
