Chelsea face Swedish side Djurgardens IF in the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League tonight.
Enzo Maresca is bidding to end his debut campaign at Chelsea with European silverware. If successful, the West Londoners will become the first club to have won each of UEFA’s current club competitions, after twice winning the Champions League (2012 and 2021) and Europa League (2013 and 2019).
Djurgardens have reached the semi-final of a European competition for the first time. They’re aiming to become Sweden’s first European finalists since IFK Göteborg 38 years ago.
Enzo Maresca has rotated heavily in Europe this season but could name a side closer to full strength at the semi-final stage.
Filip Jorgensen should continue in goal, however, having featured in all but one of the club’s Conference League games. Josh Acheampong and Kieran Dewsbury-Hall will also hope to retain their places after strong involvement in the run to the last four.
Nicolas Jackson scored his first Premier League goal in over four months at the weekend and is expected to lead the line.
Wesley Fofana and Marc Guiu remain injured for Chelsea, while Malo Gusto is a major doubt after missing the weekend win over Everton.
Chelsea predicted XI: Jorgensen; Acheampong, Adarabioyo, Badiashile, Cucurella; James, Dewsbury-Hall; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.
Djurgardens host Chelsea in the Europa Conference League semi-finals on Thursday 1st May 2025. Kick-off is 20:00 BST.
Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on TNT Sports 4.
