Chelsea will compete in the Stamford Bridge on Thursday evening in the second stage of her Europa Conference League against Copenhagen.
The blues were triumphant in the first leg of the last week, with goals from Reece James and Enzo Fernandez enough to give them an important 2-1 advantage for protection in West London. Gabriel Pereia’s strike keeps Copenhagen in combat, but they are significant outsiders to reach the quarter -finals.
Chelsea made it possible to reduce any form. But despite three wins on the go, the blues are still far from their smooth best.
In contrast, Copenhagen have been without profit in the last three games without profit, with the defeat against Chelsea achieving both sides of Superliga Education. You have now given your lead to Midtjyland on the summit, and it is unlikely that things on Stamford Bridge will improve.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to Chelsea’s European tie.

Chelsea remains without the injured quartet of Noni Madueke, Marc Guiu, Nicolas Jackson and Malo Gusto, while Mykhailo Muzryk remains suspended after the misalignment of a drug test.
Enzo Maresca has announced that Christopher Nkunku, Reece James and Cole Palmer returned to training on Wednesday, but that was their first session of the week. After their availability for Thursday, the Italian said: “We will see tomorrow if we can use some of them.”
Romeo Lavia is finally fit again and was on the bench against Leicester at the weekend. He could be seen against Arsenal next Sunday, but is not registered in the squad of the Conference League – the same applies to the latest returnees Wesley Fofana.
Maresca also confirmed that he does not yet decide whether Robert Sanchez or Filip Jorgensen will start against Copenhagen in the goal.
Chelsea predicted line-up against Copenhagen (4-2-3-1): Jorgensen; Chalobah, Adarabioyo, Badishile, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez, George, Palmer, Sancho; Neto.
Copenhagen are without a variety of important first teams for the trip to England. Feyenoord -Keihler Carlos Lopez is suspended, while Roony Bardghji, Kevin Diks, Andreas Cornelius, Lukas Lerager, Nicolai Boilesen and Oliver Hojer are stored by injuries.
81-Cap Denmark International Thomas Delaney is a significant doubt due to diseases, with the midfielder missing the last two games.
Jacob Neastrup is unlikely that the team will be made too many changes that fell in the first leg last week.
Copenhagen predicted the line-up against Chelsea (5-4-1): Ramaj; Gochholeishvili, Pereira, Garnanga, Hatzidiakos, Meling; Claesson, Clem, Frooldt, Achouri; Chiakha.
Chelsea should name a slightly stronger XI than that in Denmark, although this was still an impressive selection of players. In view of the form of blues in the conference league, it would be stupid to bet against the victory for Maresca’s men.
It seems a case of how many have to do for Chelsea against the injury speed of Copenhagen. The Danish side has the ability to cause problems to cause problems, but will find it difficult to return the innumerable attacking threats to the blues on Thursday.
The last eight is waiting for the tournament favorites.
