UCL: Which Chelsea Players Should Start Against Borussia Dortmund Today And Why?

Chelsea will need to come out firing on all cylinders if they hope to overturn their 1-0 deficit against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League today.

Here are some players that should start for Chelsea. Some much-needed momentum was gained at the weekend and key changes led to the Blues finally finding winning ways.

It’s been a while since the 3-4-3 formation has reigned supreme but it worked against Leeds United and fans are hoping it will work this time as well, Kepa Arrizabalaga stays in goal, as one would expect.

Match-winner Wesley Fofana obviously starts again alongside Kalidou Koulibaly, while Trevoh Chalobah replaces a ineligible Benoît Badiashile.
