Chelsea will be hoping new star striker Romelu Lukaku will continue his scoring ways in their Champions League fixture against Zenit on Tuesday night.

The Belgian international has scored three goals so far in the Premier League; most recently he hit a brace against Aston Villa and the Blues will look for the star front man to carry that form over to their European title defence.

After securing the trophy in May, breaking Manchester City hearts with a 1-0 victory, big things have been predicted for Thomas Tuchel’s side once more.

The club have already added the Super Cup to Tuchel’s trophy cabinet and they will be hunting for more this season.

Here’s all you need to know about the match that kicks off Chelsea’s Champions League campaign.

The game will kick off at 8pm BST on Tuesday, 14 September at Stamford Bridge.
