Chelsea continues her march in the direction of the Conference League Crown on Thursday evening when she plays her quarter -final class’s first leg with Legia Warsaw.
In view of the caliber of her opposition, it is quite surprising that Chelsea leads to fame in Uefa’s third largest prestigious club competition. Your route to the last eight has been uncomplicated, but there could be major tests.
Chelsea’s overwhelming domestic form could be their cancellation to the continental stage -they have not achieved more than one in any of the last four Premier League games -but they should only have a few problems if they defeat the Polish outfit Legia, given the quality and depth of their lucrative squad.
Legia is currently fifth in Polish Ekstraklasa under Goncalo Fei and is 12 points ahead of the league leader Rakow Czestochowa. Their European form was more impressive, but they only pressed past Norwegian Side Molde in the last 16.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to the collision.

Feio is without the services of Artur Jedrzejczyk and Jan Ziolkowski through suspension and important first-teader Bartosz Kapustka, once from Leicester City, and Marc Gual have both doubts about having missed the last two games.
Steve Kapuadi returns from his ban, but Gabriel Kobylak and Jan Leszcynski are currently missing from injuries.
Feio should adhere to the 4-3-3 setup, which has proven to be successful in two wins against Ruch Chorzow and Gornik Zabrze.
Legia Warsaw predicted the line-up against Chelsea (4-3-3): Tobiasz; Wszolek, Pankov, Kapuadi, Vinagre; Elitim, Augustyniak, Morishita; Chodyna, Shkurin, Luquinhas.
Enzo Maresca made significant changes to his starting line -up on Sunday during the goalless draw with Brentford. Cole Palmer belonged to a series of stars that fell on the bench, but the Englishman, together with the teammates Nicolas Jackson, Levi Colwill and Marc Cucurella, was restored to the XI in Poland.
Jadon Sancho, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, REECE JAMES and TOSIN ADARABIOYO could be the names of the starting line-up.
The blues will still look without the injured quartet of Romeo Lavia, Wesley Fofana, Marc Guiu and Omari Kellyman, while Mykhailo Mudryk is temporarily suspended due to the failure of a drug test.
Chelsea predicted the line-up against Legia Warsaw (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson.
Chelsea’s latest form suggests that you will not increase the scoreboard in Warsaw, but the blues remain strong favorites on Thursday and in both legs to win. Regardless of how well you are looking, you should still have an advantage next week to protect on the Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea’s defensive displays have been improved in the past few weeks, but their lack of attack is a problem. Maresca’s team may have to take a close victory on their travels.
