Chelsea – Zenit
14.09.2021
Chelsea are set to play Zenit at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday in the group stage of the Champions League. Chelsea come into this game on the back of a 3-0 win over Dean Smith’s Aston Villa in the English Premier League. Zenit Saint Petersburg, on the other hand, won against Andrei Talalayev’s Akhmat Grozny 3-1 in the Russian Premier League.
This is the first time Chelsea and Zenit Saint Petersburg are facing each other in the UEFA Champions League.
Chelsea won the Champions League last season, and they have now added one of the best strikers in the world in Romelu Lukaku to their squad. Manager Thomas Tuchel is spoilt for options, and the Blues will be among the favourites to win the trophy once again.
