Chelsea vs Borussia Dortmund LIVE | UEFA Champions League 2023 - Round of 16 | Match LIVE Today

In a high-stakes encounter, Chelsea is set to face off against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League tonight. The last-16 second-leg clash between the two sides has been billed as a make-or-break moment for the Blues' season and the tenure of their manager, Graham Potter.

Chelsea's defeat in the first leg of the tie, with a scoreline of 1-0, has put them in a difficult position going into this crucial match. However, their recent victory against Leeds has given them a much-needed confidence boost ahead of the game. Dortmund, on the other hand, are on an impressive 11-game winning streak, making them favorites to progress to the quarter-finals.

The match is scheduled for an 8 pm GMT kick-off time at Stamford Bridge in West London on Tuesday, March 7, 2023. The game will be broadcasted live on BT Sport 1 in the UK, with coverage starting at 7 pm. Viewers can also watch the match online here.

Chelsea's team has received a boost with the return of Reece James, who missed the team's win over Leeds due to a tight hamstring. Christian Pulisic is also back in contention against his former club but is expected to start from the bench. However, the match has come too soon for several key players, including Thiago Silva, Mason Mount, N'Golo Kante, Cesar Azpilicueta, Edouard Mendy, and Armando Broja. On the other hand, Dortmund's first-choice goalkeeper, Gregor Kobel, might not feature in the game due to an injury he picked up in the warm-up during Friday's win over RB Leipzig.

In the first-ever competitive meeting between the two teams, Dortmund emerged victorious in the first leg, scoring a spectacular goal by Karim Adeyemi. With the away goal advantage, they need to avoid defeat to progress to the next round.

Chelsea's recent form has been a cause for concern, with the team currently placed 10th in the Premier League. A failure to progress to the quarter-finals would mean a possibility of no European football for the first time since the 2016-17 season.

The odds are stacked against Chelsea, with Betfair offering 7/2 odds for Dortmund to qualify and 23/20 for Chelsea to progress. However, with their backs against the wall, the Blues will be looking to put up a fight and turn their season around.

As the football world eagerly awaits the kickoff of this critical match, all eyes will be on the players as they take the field at Stamford Bridge tonight. Will Chelsea be able to stage a comeback, or will Dortmund's winning streak continue? Only time will tell.
