Graham Potter, meanwhile, has now picked up his third straight win as the Blues' manager. His team are currently in fourth spot in the Premier League table, having picked up 16 points from eight games.

"I've said from the start I've been impressed with how open, honest and responsible they are. It's difficult to keep the same XI with the schedule but there is an element of consistency to how we play. Really happy with the boys and how we've recovered. We go again on Tuesday."

Potter added:

"Winning games helps so we look forward to the games, it's about hard work, it's being together, that stuff is important but the guys have been really impressive."

The Blues will next face AC Milan at the San Siro in the UEFA Champions League on October 11.
