Chelsea are in a strong position to advance to the Conference League semi-finals as they prepare to face Legia Warsaw at Stamford Bridge.
In the previous match in Poland, Chelsea put on an impressive performance in front of a passionate crowd, securing a 3-0 victory. Tyrique George scored his first senior goal for Chelsea in the second half, followed by a brace from Noni Madueke after coming on as a substitute.
With the Premier League top-four spot at stake, Chelsea are relying on the Conference League to secure a spot in the Europa League for the next season.
Team news
Chelsea will be without Romeo Lavia and Marc Guiu, who are still recovering from injuries. Wesley Fofana and Omari Kellyman will miss the remainder of the season due to their injuries.
Legia will be missing Jan Leszczynski for the season, along with Marc Gual and captain Bartosz Kapustka due to injuries. Jan Ziolkowski and Artur Jedrzejczyk could return to the lineup after serving their suspension in the first leg.
The stats
Chelsea are on a four-game unbeaten streak but were held to a 2-2 draw by Ipswich after their win over Legia in the previous round.
Chelsea have been consistent in scoring at home, finding the back of the net in 22 consecutive matches. They have only failed to score once at home this season, in a 2-0 loss to Manchester City on the opening weekend.
Legia have struggled in the Conference League recently, losing four of their last five matches. They have also failed to win in their last two games in all competitions.
Despite their struggles, Legia have managed to score in seven consecutive away matches in the Conference League.
Prediction
Legia have shown promise in Europe this season but facing a strong Chelsea side will be a tough challenge for them. Chelsea, being the tournament favorites, are expected to outclass their opponents.
Legia will have a tough time breaking through the solid Chelsea defense, considering they only had one shot on target in the first leg. It's likely that Legia will be eliminated in the quarter-finals of the competition.
