🚨 XIs announced: Chelsea face a tough trip to Italy | OneFootball

Atalanta hosts Chelsea today at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo, in a crucial match of matchday 6 of the UEFA Champions League league phase, with direct implications in the fight for the playoffs.

Both teams, known for their offensive style, arrive in need of redemption. Palladino's Atalanta interrupted their positive streak with a tough defeat against Verona, while Maresca's Chelsea hasn't won in three consecutive matches.

The history generally favors the English, as La Dea has only achieved one victory in seven previous Champions League encounters against Premier League teams. However, this is the first direct confrontation between both clubs in Europe. Spanish coach Alejandro Hernández will be in charge of officiating the match.

A great spectacle is expected, with both teams seeking victory to secure their position in the tournament.
