Table-topping Blues will hope to finish their league phase campaign with a sixth consecutive win
Chelsea vs Shamrock Rovers LIVE!
Chelsea will look to make it a perfect six wins out of six in the Conference League when they conclude the league phase against Irish side Shamrock Rovers at Stamford Bridge tonight. It’s been a competition to remember so far for Enzo Maresca’s table-topping Blues, who have continued to make sweeping changes and rattled off five consecutive victories against Gent, Panathinaikos, FC Noah, Heidenheim and Astana.
With automatic progress through to the last 16 already assured, Chelsea give more chances to youngsters this evening after Josh Acheampong finally ended his contract stand-off this week, with Tyrique George also starting. But there is no Mykhailo Mudryk after the Ukrainian winger tested positive for a banned substance and was provisionally suspended from football while he awaits the results of a B sample, having denied ever knowingly using any banned substances and vowed to prove his innocence.
Shamrock Rovers head to west London amid a superb campaign that sees them sitting sixth in the table with an unbeaten record after brushing aside Bosnian outfit Borac last time out, with hopes of avoiding a knockout play-off in the New Year as they name an unchanged team.
