Graham Potter sends Stamford Bridge warning head of Chelsea vs Dortmund Champions League clash

Chelsea manager Graham Potter says his team will be ready to give every thing when they host in-form German side Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League tonight. The visitors will be looking for the 11th straight win in all competitions.

For Chelsea, the gloom lifted at Stamford Bridge when the Blues beat Leeds United to ease pressure on Potter ahead of the crucial second leg Champions League game tonight.

The west London side trail the Germans 1-0 from the first leg but know two goals at home will be enough to send them through to the last eight of Europe’s elite club competition.

Stamford Bridge has always been pivotal to Chelsea’s success in Europe and Graham Potter- who admits he’s yet to fully win the total backing of all fans- expects them to back the team regardless of the recent challenges.

He told the press: “To be honest, I’m not thinking about it in that way. I’m thinking about how important it is for the team and club.

“It’s a chance to get into the last eight of the Champions League but we’re playing against a top opponent in a really good vein of form.

“So it’s a huge challenge but at the same time, what an opportunity. Stamford Bridge will be rocking I’m sure and we will give it everything to win the game and go through.”

Graham Potter will also hope defender Reece James, who missed the Leeds United win over the weekend will pass a late fitness test and be available, while winger Christian Pulisic is also likely to be in the team having recovered from injury.

Midfielder N’Golo Kante is back in training but this game come too soon for him while Dortmund will be without Karim Adeyemi who scored the only goal in the first leg.
