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.

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