Is Chelsea vs Ajax on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Champions League fixture | OneFootball

Chelsea play host to Ajax in the Champions League this evening hoping to propel themselves further up the league phase table.

The Blues sit 18th in the table ahead of this week’s fixtures having won one and lost one of their two games so far. Bayern Munich swept the world champions aside 3-1 in their opening match before Enzo Maresca’s side defeated Benfica 1-0 at the end of September.

Since then, Chelsea have beaten Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League and look in good touch ahead of the clash at Stamford Bridge.

They take on an Ajax side who have not won in three games. They have lost both of their Champions League games so far with Inter Milan and Marseille both scoring multiple goals against the Dutch side. Chelsea will pose a difficult challenge and the Blues are the favourites to win tonight’s encounter.
