Copenhagen vs Chelsea: Conference League preview, team news, how to watch, kick-off time & prediction | OneFootball

Chelsea face Copenhagen on Thursday night as their Conference League knockout campaign begins.

Enzo Maresca and Chelsea travel to the Danish capital for the 1st leg of their Round of 16 tie against Copenhagen at Parken.

After finishing top of the League Phase, Chelsea have been rewarded with a tie against Copenhagen, who had to overcome Heidenheim in the play-offs to set up a tie with the Premier League outfit.

Chelsea will have Cole Palmer available for the knockout stages after he was omitted from the League Phase due to fitness and workload management.

After having the weekend off due to being out of the FA Cup, Chelsea have been given plenty of time to prepare for the trip to Denmark, where they will hope to bring an advantage back to Stamford Bridge for the 2nd leg on March 13.
