Chelsea vs PAOK LIVE: Confirmed team news and Europa League commentary

Chelsea vs PAOK
Uefa Europa League 2018-19
Venue: Stamford Bridge
Kick-off: 8pm GMT

Chelsea are back in Europa League tonight as they take on PAOK at the Bridge.

With four wins from four, the Blues have eased into the last 32 but a response of sorts is expected after Saturday’s defeat to Tottenham.

Maurizio Sarri’s unbeaten start to life in English football was brought to an end at Wembley – with changes expected for Thursday’s match.

Vaishali Bhardwaj and Simon Johnson are in attendance tonight, and you can follow the action LIVE with Standard Sport.

Head to head

This will be just the second meeting between the two sides with Willian's first-half stike enough to separate the two in the reverse fixture in September.
