Champions League Match Preview, Team News and Predicted Line-ups: Krasnodar vs Chelsea

Chelsea return to Champions League action this evening with a trip to Russia to face Krasnodar, and they will be keen to pick up all three points following last week’s goalless draw with Sevilla.

The hosts will also be looking to secure a win after drawing with Rennes last week, and while Frank Lampard’s side are favourites, the Blues can’t afford to belittle the Russians.

The top spot in Group E of the Champions League is expected to be between them and Sevilla, but failure to win tonight could come at a price going forward in the competition.
