A fascinating Champions League last-16 tie kicks off tonight as an in-form Dortmund side host Graham Potter’s gradually improving Chelsea for the first leg of their encounter. Twice winners of the competition, Blues fans will know not to count out their chances despite a rough ride domestically.
Signs of life are emering out of west London, albeit so far in the form of three consecutive draws as Potter looks to steady a Chelsea ship strengthened but also rocked by a hectic January spending spree. In their way are Jude Bellinghamand Borussia, bidding for an eighth win in a row
