Chelsea confirmed team vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Eden Hazard with a fond farewell?

Chelsea take on Eintracht Frankfurt tonight in the Europa League semi-final second leg at Stamford Bridge.

The tie is perilously poised after the first game in Germany which ended in a 1-1 draw when Pedro equalised from Luka Jovic’s first-half opener.

The Blues have already qualified for the Champions League, so the pressure in that regards is off, however Maurizio Sarri is still chasing his first trophy as a manager and so he is taking this competition very seriously.

Eden Hazard did not start the first leg at the Commerzbank-Arena, however he does take to the pitch this time in what could be his final appearance for the Blues at Stamford Bridge.

How many goals do Chelsea need against Eintracht Frankfurt to reach the UEFA Europa League final?  

The Belgian will be hoping to sign off, if this is indeed to be his final match in west London, in some style and really give the fans a show of what his skills are all about.

As expected, with only one more game against Leicester City at the weekend left to go, Sarri has selected a very strong side to take on the Bundesliga team.

Chelsea: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Luiz, Emerson, Jorginho, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Willian, Hazard, Giroud.

Subs: Caballero, Alonso, Cahill, Zappacosta, Barkley, Pedro, Higuain.
