Slavia Prague vs Chelsea: Predicted line-up for the Europa League tie plus how to watch, odds and more

Chelsea travel to Slavia Prague on Thursday night for the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final. 

Slavia Prague are seven points clear at the top of the Czech league and have picked up some notable scalps to get this far, knocking out Sevilla in the last round.

Chelsea thrashed Dynamo Kiev in the previous round and have been handed what many consider a favourable draw in the final eight.

Sarri hinted this week that Eden Hazard is likely to be rested, given Chelsea’s busy schedule of European and Premier League games. 

Here’s everything you need to know for the game:

Predicted line-up

Chelsea: Kepa Arrizabalaga; Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Antonio Rudiger, Emerson; Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Ross Barkley; Pedro, Willian, Giroud.

What time does it start?

The game will kick-off at 8pm BST.

How can I watch it?

The match will be shown on BT Sport 3, and can be streamed on their online service.  

What are the odds?

Chelsea 4/6

Draw 11/4

Slavia Prague 4/1
