Wednesday's game provides an early opportunity for Nicolas Jackson to show his former employer what it's missing. The Senegal international forward, who made a £56 million move from Chelsea last month, is set to start for Bayern today.
The hosts have made a strong start to the new Bundesliga season, with three wins from three games sending them to the top of the German league. Chelsea, meanwhile, appears to be suffering something of a hangover from its summer Club World Cup triumph. The Blues come into this game off the back of a disappointing west London derby draw against Brentford.
Bayern Munich takes on Chelsea at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, Sept. 17. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CEST local time in Germany, making it an 8 p.m. BST start in the UK, a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT kickoff in the US, and a 5 a.m. AEST start in Australia on Wednesday.
