Chelsea will face off against Red Bull Salzburg at the Red Bull Arena on Tuesday evening as both teams try to grab all three points away from home. The Austrian outfit also had to settle for a scoreless draw against SK Sturm Graz recently. Similarly, the Blues were held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester United last weekend. Hence, both sides would be eager to get back to winning ways in this midweek European clash in Austria.
Red Bull Salzburg vs Chelsea: Talking Tactics
Matthias Jaissle will set his team up in a 4-1-2-1-2 formation and might instruct his men to sit deep and soak in all the pressure before trying to expose Chelsea’s defensive weaknesses on the counter.
Graham Potter will opt for a 3-4-2-1 formation and will ask his players to dominate the ball and create enough decent chances to win this contest at the Red Bull Arena.

Noah Okafor has to carry most of the goal-scoring workload for the Austrian giants on the attacking end of the field.
Chelsea
Kai Havertz and Mason Mount need to have a productive game in the final third if Potter’s side want to grab maximum points away from home.
