Chelsea make the 7,000-mile round-trip to Kazakhstan to face Astana in their penultimate fixture in the League Phase of the Conference League on Thursday afternoon.
While the West Londoners beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 in the Premier League last weekend, Astana were last in action a fortnight ago when they drew 1-1 with Vitoria de Guimaraes, and here, Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest team news for the two clubs.
