Legia Warsaw vs Chelsea LIVE!

Chelsea travel to Poland this evening to face Legia Warsaw in the first leg of their Conference League quarter-final tie. The Blues remain firm favourites to win Europe’s revamped tertiary club competition this season despite their ongoing struggles for consistency in a fierce top-four fight in the Premier League, though could face a difficult test tonight amid one of European football’s most hostile home atmospheres.

Chelsea have breezed through the Conference League so far, not dropping a single point en route to easily topping the league phase before beating FC Copenhagen 3-1 on aggregate in the last 16. Cole Palmer returns to Enzo Maresca’s starting XI here having been benched for Sunday’s frustrating goalless draw with west London rivals Brentford, though Romeo Lavia is still out and Wesley Fofana lost for the season.

Warsaw finished seventh during the league phase and bounced back to edge past Norwegian side Molde to reach the quarter-finals, but they currently languish down in fifth place in the Polish Ekstraklasa.
