Preview match for FC Copenhagen by Chelsea
Tests may begin to become slightly tougher for Chelsea in Knockouts of the Europa Conference League, starting with a draw against Copenhagen.
Enzo Maresca blues ran into the start of the original championship, setting a perfect six -profit record and no loss, admitting just five goals along the way.
Despite their 18th finish and path through the play-offs, Copenhagen is one of the strongest teams in the competition, although they are still considered huge outsider for this tie.
Cole Palmer has been added to the team by his manager after staying out for the first six games to give him a rest along the season and his presence will only boost the blues as they seem to deliver another European trophy to the Stamford Bridge.
The two teams faced each other twice before, in 2011 in the Champions League, with Chelsea winning both lamps in a two -legged tie.
And they will need to find another level on this opportunity against the top scorers in the competition, who have faded in the Premier League and are now competing for a Champions League position.
Copenhagen is the top of the Danish league and has their eyes firmly in a possible disruption if they can move forward in front of a crowd at home.
