Chelsea team news: Under manager Liam Rosenior, the Blues are dealing with tired legs following a 120-minute FA Cup battle against Wrexham last Saturday.

Head-to-head record: Historically, these two sides are very evenly matched in European competition, having famously traded knockout blows in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
