Chelsea welcome Copenhagen to Stamford Bridge on Thursday night as they aim to make the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League.
The Blues won 2-1 in the first leg in Denmark, as Reece James and Enzo Fernandez both scored for Enzo Maresca’s side before Gabriel Pereira scored for Copenhagen to cut the deficit to just one goal.
Chelsea need to hold onto their one-goal lead in order to get through to the quarter-final where they will play against either Legia Warsaw or FK Molde.
They come off a 1-0 win against Leicester City in the Premier League, which left them fourth in the table, aiming to earn a Champions League place next season.
Marc Cucurella scored the only goal of the game after Cole Palmer missed a penalty earlier on. It was revealed after the game that Palmer played through illness, he is now a doubt for Thursday.
