Chelsea have been drawn against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions Association Round of 16 and football.london investigates the German side and what they can offer

CHELSEA Attract BORUSSIA DORTMUND THE Bosses Association ROUND OF 16

At the point when Chelsea were drawn against Borussia Dortmund on Monday morning, it was one that energized a lot of allies.

The first-leg will be played at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund before the conclusive game that will happen at Stamford Scaffold in Spring.

In numerous ways, it's a comparative style to what Potter has proactively looked in the Heroes Association in the two matches against FC Salzburg, where Chelsea drew the home game and dominated the away apparatus.

 Nonetheless, the quality that Dortmund have available to them will make it a significantly seriously testing experience.

The German outfit, who are presently fourth in the Bundesliga after their initial 13 matches of the time, have made a blended beginning to their association crusade.

 Terzic's side have won eight out of their 13 installations, losing four and drawing once.

Dortmund completed second in Gathering G - five focuses behind Manchester City yet four in front of third-place Sevilla. 

They just won two out of their six matches yet drew three, with their main loss coming to City. 

In both matches, Terzic showed his style of play and how they can keep it tight at the back, as well as having the ability to score while going after.

The Bundesliga side love to save the ball for extensive periods to wear the resistance out, and when out of ownership, there is in many cases an extraordinary press to attempt to take back control of the game. 

They keep a high-line, so it's an opportunity for Potter to use a portion of his speedier going after players to attempt to get them out.

Chelsea like to play it out from the back with short misses driving them the pitch, yet Dortmund will believe their rivals should play in such a way so they can endeavor to get the Blues out. 

One more intriguing attribute of Dortmund's is their enthusiasm to make light of the right-hand side while going after.

Whether it's Karim Adeyemi or Giovanni Reyna on the traditional, Dortmund like to use the flank. Jude Bellingham, maybe Dortmund's headliner, gets involved from the right of focal midfield and Thomas Meunier, as well, from right-back.

Terzic will have a ton of schoolwork to do on Chelsea before their first-leg on fifteenth February. 

Ben Chilwell, who got a serious hamstring injury in last week's Heroes Association prevail upon Dinamo Zagreb, is supposed to miss the tie, so Marc Cucurella might be the man on the left-hand side of the safeguard for the Blues.

Cucurella has had a blended beginning to his Chelsea vocation. 

The 24-year-old protector was endorsed from Brighton in the late spring for around £60million and has neglected to satisfy his sticker price up until this point. 

He began well for certain strong exhibitions away at Everton and at home to Tottenham, however it has been hard for the Spaniard as of late.

The previous Brighton man was firmly scrutinized for his job in Gabriel Magalhaes' just objective of the game as Chelsea lost to Armory on Sunday evening. 

Cucurella was static in the crate before Gabriel wound up tapping the ball home at Stamford Scaffold.

There's no questioning Cucurella's ability and capacity - he showed that last season under Potter at Brighton consistently. 

The Chelsea lead trainer necessities to attempt to get the best out of Cucurella before the Dortmund conflict, or the German outfit could truly exploit that right-hand side of assault.

Dortmund have various going after choices that can hurt Chelsea. Julian Brandt is a perilous player who is in many cases utilized in the number 10 job. Youssoufa Moukoko, who is only 17 years of age, has been in wonderful

 structure for the Germans this season. He as of now has six objectives and four helps to his name in the association.

Chelsea allies will be satisfied with the draw. Most importantly, playing a side out of the blue is consistently a pleasant inclination, yet it likewise addresses a decent opportunity to arrive at the last eight of the opposition.

 Nonetheless, Dortmund can be extremely perilous, and Potter will know how much planning should be done ahead of time.

Pep Guardiola, who saw his Man City side win and draw against Dortmund in the gathering stage, knows exactly the way that great the German side are.

 Inquired as to why Dortmund are an extreme group, Guardiola answered: "In light of the fact that they are great.

"For the reality we are Man City, we don't have it simple, it's an extreme opening. I know in top games against Bayern Munich, they play at a high level. We have a ton of regard for them."
