Ahead of the first of two games between Group E’s biggest teams, the Blues are still looking for their first win as Milan have to deal with a host of injuries in their squad.

Chelsea vs AC Milan Prediction
Chelsea still manage to gain a foothold under Graham Potter, while Milan’s injuries contributed to an inconsistent start to the season.

A 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.
