Chelsea must negotiate a long trip to Azerbaijan as they continue their Champions League campaign against Qarabag.
Enzo Maresca’s side have bounced back from the loss to Bayern Munich in their opening match with back-to-back wins and hope to continue gaining momentum in Europe.
In the midst of a busy national schedule, Maresca has confirmed that he will rotate with his team after the long trip to Baku.
But the Chelsea boss will be wary of the threat posed by the hosts: Qarabag have already beaten Benfica and Copenhagen this season to move level on points with their opponents.
Here you will find everything you need to know.
