Chelsea take on Qarabag tonight. Get all the team news here…
Chelsea will hope to claim their third Champions League win in four games when they visit Qarabag tonight.
Enzo Maresca’s side have bounced back nicely from their matchday one defeat to Bayern Munich with victories over Benfica and Ajax and will head to Azerbaijan in confident mood.
A repeat of their performance at Spurs on Saturday would be welcomed with Chelsea dominating far more than the 1-0 scoreline suggested.
Qarabag were the surprise package early in this Champions League campaign, securing wins over Benfica and FC Copenhagen but they were brought down to earth with a 3-1 defeat at Athletic Bilbao on matchday three.
