Three ways Chelsea can line-up vs Borussia Dortmund as Graham Potter faces Reece James decision

Chelsea boss Graham Potter is set to make some of his most important decisions since taking the reins at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night as he prepares to name a side to take on Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League round of 16.

It means the Blues have to turn the scoreline in their favour if they wish to book their place in the final eight of the competition. It won't be easy for Potter to make a decision on how his side may setup for the clash, with a whole host of absences due to a mix of injuries and registration restrictions.
