[However, that deal for Marsch broke down](https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2023/02/15/reports-jesse-marsch-to-be-named-new-southampton-manager/) and now Ruben Selles is in charge on a caretaker basis as the assistant coach could well take over for the rest of the season. All of the focus at Chelsea is on scoring more goals and they have been so close to doing that in recent games. They didn’t take their chances in the first half at West Ham last weekend and were made to pay for that in the 1-1 draw, while Potter not starting a proper No. [humbling home defeat to 10-man Wolves last weekend](https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2023/02/11/southampton-vs-wolves-video-highlights-analysis-reaction/) and it looked like Jesse Marsch would be their next manager. All of the focus will be on Arsenal and how they respond to that home defeat, their first of the season, to Manchester City. Chelsea sit in 10th place in the table and are 10 points off the top four. All is not lost as they still have a game in-hand on City but Arteta has a big job on his hands to raise the confidence levels for this clash at Villa Park, and beyond. This is a big test for this new-look Chelsea side and they need their new signings to stand up and deliver.

Borussia Dortmund beat Chelsea in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie.

Thomas Meunier is still returning from a muscle injury, while Mateu Morey has been out for most of the season with a knee injury.

They look suitably confident after such a good run here since almost the start of the season. Chelsea will find plenty of encouragement from these opening stages as they look to improve on four goals in their last eight games. This has been a breathless start to the game. It's a valid point as Dortmund close in on an eighth win since the World Cup. This isn't a great game for any manager's nerves, but he'll surely be aware in the back of his mind that a draw would be a commendable result here.
