Welcome to the final game of the “league phase” of this year’s UEFA Conference League. Chelsea are already guaranteed a spot in the Round of 16, so there’s nothing more riding on this game than a bit of professional pride and a chance to cultivate that winning habit.
Enzo Maresca has rotated accordingly, and given starts to youngsters Tyrique George and Josh Acheampong once again, with plenty more fresh faces on the bench.
