Chelsea have entered their final four matches before the World Cup break and for his first time in charge of the Blues, Graham Potter might feel like he has time to pause. Dinamo Zagreb, Arsenal, Manchester City and Newcastle United. Two cup games intermingled with Premier League matches against rivals challenging for the top four as teams fight to end the first period of the season with some momentum.
Fortunately for Chelsea, Dinamo's trip to Stamford Bridge offers the Blues a free-hit of sorts. Potter's team have already qualified top of Group E and have nothing to play for but redemption after the Croatian side defeated them earlier in the season.
Chelsea will be able to introduce some players who have not featured much this season, perhaps give some youngsters an opportunity and generally rotate where the current injury situation allows. Although, Potter appeared to indicate earning three points in the clash is still a priority.
