Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund starlet Youssoufa Moukoko was forced off with an injury in the win over Bremen and has emerged as a doubt for Wednesday's contest; either Sebastian Haller or Anthony Modeste are therefore expected to lead the line as a result.
Marius Wolf (shoulder), Abdoulaye Kamara (knee) and Mateu Morey (fitness) are all ruled out, but Thomas Meunier has recovered from a muscle strain and he is set to battle with January signing Julian Ryerson for a place at right-back.
Attacker Karim Adeyemi is available for selection after serving a domestic suspension in the win against Bremen, while in-demand teenage Jude Bellingham – who has scored four goals in five Champions League games this season – is set to strut his stuff in centre-midfield.
Borussia Dortmund possible starting lineup:
Kobel; Ryerson, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Guerreiro; Bellingham, Can; Adeyemi, Reus, Brandt; Haller
Chelsea
As for Chelsea, N'Golo Kante (hamstring), Christian Pulisic, Armando Broja (both knee) and Edouard Mendy (finger) all remain sidelined with injuries, while Aubameyang, Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke, David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos are all ineligible after being left out of Potter's Champions League squad.
Wesley Fofana (knee), Mateo Kovacic (calf), Denis Zakaria (thigh), Raheem Sterling (knee) and Kalidou Koulibaly (illness) are all doubtful and will be assessed ahead of the trip to Germany.
If deemed fit to play, Koulibaly will likely play alongside Thiago Silva at centre-back whether that be in a back three or four-man defence, with English duo Reece James and Ben Chilwell set to start as either full-backs or wing-backs.
Mason Mount or Hakim Ziyech could replace Madueke on the right flank, and Felix is expected to retain his place as the number 10 in behind Germany international Kai Havertz, while Mykhaylo Mudryk – who netted five goals in six Champions League games for Shakhtar Donetsk earlier this season – is set to continue on the left wing.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Arrizabalaga; James, Thiago Silva, Koulibaly, Chilwell; Loftus-Cheek, Fernandez; Mount, Felix, Mudryk; Havertz
Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 2-1 Chelsea
