RB Salzburg 1 Chelsea 2 LIVE REACTION: Havertz’s spectacular strike sends Blues through to Champions League last 16

RB Salzburg 0-0 Chelsea

21. It's not the visitors enjoying the bulk of possession.

Well, they're not really enjoying it as they're struggling to find a way through a well-drilled Salzburg unit.

19. Chalobah is being encouraged to bring the ball out of defence and drive forward whenever the opportunity arises.

When the centre-back does venture upfield, Jorginho is dropping back into the vacant gap.

17. After Chelsea's fast start, it's the home side that have had the better of the last ten minutes.

A reminder that Salzburg are unbeaten in their last 40 competitive matches at the Red Bull Arena.

15. A first glimpse of Luka Sucic's talents.

The 20-year-old picks up Okafor's lay-off, and runs at the Chelsea defence.

He twists Chalobah one way, and then the other before firing high of Kepa's goal.

13. An impressive burst of energy from Gallagher takes him through the heart of the midfield, away from Gourna-Douath.

In response, the 19-year-old can only hold on to the back of the Chelsea man and pulls him down.

11. Graham Potter makes his first tactical tweak of the night as Sterling and Pulisic switch flanks.

The American is now on the right with the former Manchester City star on the left.

10. Another corner to Salzburg.

Okafor makes room for himself in the penalty area, but is unable to get his shot away under pressure from Cucurella.

9. A half-chance from the resulting set-piece for Bernardo, but the former Brighton man is out-muscled to the ball by Chalobah.

8. The home side break forward for the first time, sparked by a beautiful chest down and flick from Okafor.

Eventually, Dedic attempts to swing over a cross from the right, but it's blocked behind by Sterling for a corner.

RB Salzburg 0-0 Chelsea

6. Chelsea continue to press in numbers.

Gallagher, Sterling and Aubameyang have all attempted to make in-roads into the Salzburg area, but - so far - the young home defence are holding firm.

4. Thankfully, Kohn is up and able to continue.

He receives an apologetic slap on the back from Havertz too. That will help.

2. Brave goalkeeping from Kohn, but at what cost?!

The Salzburg goalkeeper rushes off his line to reach Bernardo's awful headed backpass, flicking the ball away from the boot of Havertz.

However, following through on his run, the Chelsea forward accidentally caught the keeper on the side of the head with his knee, leaving him flat out on the pitch and in need of treatment.

Kick-off - RB Salzburg v Chelsea

1. After a wonderful tribute in memory of Mateschitz, it's Chelsea that get the game underway at the Red Bull Arena.

The visitors are in all blue, Salzburg are wearing silvery-grey.

Here come the two teams!

There are flags aplenty as the players stride out on to the Salzburg pitch, and take their place for the pre-match formalities.

On the edge of the Alps, Ian Darke tells us that this city is the birthplace of Mozart; "What would he have made of the Champions League anthem?"

A handshake, a coin toss, and an exchange of mementos between captains Max Wober and Jorginho later, and we're almost ready to go.

However, first the players and fans inside the stadium come together for an emotional minute's applause in memory of RB Salzburg's co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz, who passed away at the weekend.

Potter expecting another tough test

Graham Potter's first game as Chelsea manager was a hard-fought 1-1 draw with RB Salzburg at Stamford Bridge last month, and the Blues boss believes he has learnt plenty from that match to form his gameplan for tonight's return.

We want to be positive. We know we're playing a very tough opponent, they make it very difficult here - you only have to take see their results that they've got in Europe especially. They attack with clarity, they defend with clarity. They're very aggressive, and very intense. You need to use the width against them, you need to affect their defensive idea.

Chelsea eye place in knockouts

Good afternoon and welcome to live SunSport coverage of RB Salzburg versus Chelsea.

Yes, the early evening Champions League action this Tuesday comes from Austria, where Graham Potter's men will be hoping to seal their route into the Last 16.

The Blues require a win to seal one of the top two spots in Group E with a game to spare, and will be further evidence of an impressive start to life at Stamford Bridge for their new manager.

However, standing in the Londoners' way are a fearless Salzburg side, not used to losing on their own patch.

Kick-off at the Red Bull Arena is set for 5.45pm, and confirmation of the two starting line-ups is imminent.
