Bundesliga clubs are known for creating amazing atmospheres in games and the home fans appear to be doing all they can to support their team.

Pictures show a section of the supporters removing their seats, in a very civilised manner, so they could stand up for the match, which is live on talkSPORT 2.

They also unveiled an enormous banner that covered an entire stand as they ramped up the atmosphere ahead of kick-off.

Maurizio Sarri surprised many by opting to leave Eden Hazard on the bench for the match in Germany.

The Blues have a great opportunity to reach the final of the competition with the prize on offer a place in next season's Champions League for the winners.

Chelsea’s opponents are not to be underestimated, though, as Eintracht sit fourth in the Bundesliga and eliminated Portuguese giants Benfica en route to the semis.
