A strong finish...but at a cost
With Chelsea having already qualified for the Champions League knockout stage as Group E winners, Graham Potter had a rare opportunity to rest key players for the visit of Dinamo. Yet somewhat surprisingly, he opted not to take it and a strong starting XI was named.
Trevoh Chalobah continued at centre-back; the academy graduate has played every minute possible since replacing Wesley Fofana in the home victory over AC Milan. There were also starts for Cesar Azpilicueta and Ben Chilwell in the full-back positions. Jorginho and Mason Mount were in the midfield. Kai Havertz, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Raheem Sterling were in the frontline.
