Chelsea vs Malmo FF
Europa League 2018-19 | Round of 32, second leg
Venue: Stamford Bridge
Date: Thursday, February 21, 2019
Kick-off: 8pm GMT
Chelsea will look to confirm their place in the Europa League last 16 when they welcome Malmo to Stamford Bridge.
Goals from Ross Barkley and Olivier Giroud sealed a first-leg win in Sweden last Thursday – although Anders Christiansen’s late effort offers Malmo some faint hope.
While there is still a job to be done in west London, Sarri will undoubtedly have one eye on Sunday’s EFL Cup final against Manchester City.
Chelsea team news
The likes of Willy Caballero, Davide Zappacosta, Andreas Christensen and Emerson Palmieri are likely to feature again with Sarri expected to restore a number of big names for Monday’s FA Cup clash with Manchester United.
Olivier Giroud, who has five goals in his last four Europa League appearances, is surely deserving of another starting role.
Score prediction: Chelsea 3-0 Malmo
Even with key players rested again, Chelsea should have no problems putting this tie to bed.
