Graham Potter’s side currently languish firmly in mid-table on the domestic front after a 1-1 draw with London rivals West Ham United. The Blues have only won eight of their opening 22 league matches. They enjoyed a better time of things on the European stage though. Chelsea finished top of Group E ahead of reigning Italian giants AC Milan to progress to the knockout stages despite having gotten off to a rough start with a defeat to group minnows Dinamo Zagreb.
Intriguingly, Dortmund are also having somewhat of a similar season to their upcoming opponents. Edin Terzic’s side struggled to find consistency in the Bundesliga earlier this term after losing six out of their opening 20 league games. Regardless, they still sit third in the German top-flight and just three points behind current league leaders Bayern Munich courtesy of a five-match winning run.
