Preview:
Dinamo Zagreb head into this after a 3-1 win over Rijeka in their previous 1. Division clash on Friday.
Lauritsen, Spikic and Orsic struck for Zagreb in this one. This continued their wonderful start to the season as they remained top of the table with 22 points from 8 matches which included 7 wins.
Zagreb had to use the play-off process to get into the UCL this season and managed to do so after beating Bodø/Glimt 5-2 on aggregate across two legs.
Prior to this, they eased past Shkupi and Ludogorets Razgrad in the earlier qualification matches.
On the other hand, Chelsea returned to winning ways in the Premier League on the weekend after they beat West Ham 2-1 at home.

Antonio gave the Hammers a second half lead before late strikes from Chilwell and Havertz turned the game in Chelsea’s favour.
The Blues were lucky to come out with a win as drama unfolded towards the end of the game through a controversial VAR decision. With that win, Chelsea is in 6th place and vying for consistency.
They now turn the focus towards the Champions League, where the 2020-21 champions look to stamp their authority.
AC Milan and Salzburg make up the other members of Group E, which ensures a positive approach is required to draw first blood.

Team News

Dinamo Zagreb possible 11:
Livakovic, Ristovski, Peric, Sutalo, Ljubicic, Ademi, Misic, Ivanusec, Baturina, Orsic and Petkovic
Chelsea possible 11:
Kepa, Koulibaly, Chalobah, Fofana, Chilwell, Kovacic, Jorginho, James, Havertz, Mount and Sterling
Prediction: Dinamo Zagreb 1-2 Chelsea
The hosts have started off their season in commanding fashion while Chelsea are still finding their way this time around.
We can expect a closely fought scenario, since the group is set to be competitive.
But Chelsea’s strength is the quality in attack, which can put the Croatian side under pressure with Aubameyang being the latest addition. Chelsea should nick this one by the odd goal.
Players to watch out for: Ivanusec, Orsic, Chilwell and Sterling.
