Chelsea host Copenhagen in the Conference League tonight
There is still work for Chelsea to do in tonight’s Conference League last-16 second leg against FC Copenhagen. Leading 2-0 heading into the final 10 minutes at Parken Stadium last week thanks to goals from Reece James and Enzo Fernandez, the Blues saw their advantage halved late on by Gabriel Pereira which sets up an intriguing decider in west London.
Enzo Maresca has tended to use this competition to rotate his squad and could do so again tonight with one eye on Sunday’s Premier League clash away at Arsenal. Cole Palmer, Marc Cucurella and Moises Caicedo are among those that may be afforded a rest with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Benoit Badiashille getting some game time.
The visitors can draw on their experience from the play-off round tie against Heidenheim when they overturned a first leg deficit to advance, though a positive result tonight would be classed as a big shock given how dominant Chelsea have been in the competition thus far.
