It’s back to European action again for Chelsea as they make the long journey to Kazakhstan in the Europa Conference League.
As with other games in the competition so far this season, Enzo Maresca is taking a much-changed squad to the game. Several young players, as well as those on the fringes of the squad could be given a chance to impress.
The Blues take on Astana, who are currently in second place in the Kazakhstan Premier League. They have won one and drawn one of their four Europa Conference League games so far this season, leaving them in 23rd place in the group stage table.
Chelsea, meanwhile, sit at the top of the pack. Of their four games, they have won all four, scoring 18 goals in the process, only Legia Warsaw have the same winning record.
The Blues will be battling freezing weather conditions for the clash on Thursday afternoon as they look to maintain their 100 percent win record. Here are all the details you need to know about how to follow the game.
