can book their place in the Champions League knockout stage this evening, but must defeat Roma in Italy to guarantee a top two finish in Group C.
Atletico Madrid must also fail to beat Qarabag at home if the Blues are to progress to the next round tonight, but even if that doesn’t happen, a win for Antonio Conte’s side puts them in good stead to make it to the knockout round in matchday five.
The previous encounter between these two sides ended in a 3-3 draw at Stamford Bridge. The Blues raced into a two-goal lead, but a brace from Edin Dzeko and a lone strike from Aleksandar Kolarov put the visitors ahead with 20 minutes remaining.
