generally the Blues have lost 1 game in their last 10 games winning 7 and playing a draw on 2 occasions.
Chelsea would be missing the services of Christian Pulisic due to ankle injury problems with N’Golo Kanté also doubtful of making the playing squad.
ZENITH ST. PETERSBURG
The Russian side would be determined to begin their encounter against Chelsea with a win and break the jinx of Russian sides loosing or drawing against Chelsea.
Zenith have lost 6 of their last 7 UEFA champions league games playing a draw in 1. They terribly lost 5 of their 6 group stage games last season in the champions league playing a draw in 1.
