Chelsea vs BATE Borisov
Uefa Europa League 2018/19
Venue: Stamford Bridge
Kick-off time: 8pm BST
Chelsea are looking to make it three wins from three in the Europa League when they come BATE Borisov to Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have hardly been convincing in the group campaign so far, managing narrow 1-0 victories away to PAOK and at home to Videoton last time out.
They were enough for them to take charge of Group L however and stand as the only team to have taken six points from a possible six.

Team news
Eden Hazard is a doubt for Thursday’s clash due to a back problem sustained during Saturday’s bruising clash with Manchester United.
The Belgium international may have been rested regardless, having not made the starting XI in the opening two matches of the Blues’ Europa League campaign.
Ethan Ampadu might have hoped for a start but a knee injury suffered on international duty with Wales rules him out.
Callum Hudson-Odoi also remains sidelined with an unspecified knock.
