Chelsea head to Poland tonight looking to claim a first-leg lead in their Conference League quarter-final against Legia Warsaw.
The Blues are still in contention to qualify for next season’s Champions League via their league position but Enzo Maresca knows his standing at Stamford Bridge would be enhanced significantly by clinching a European trophy.
Chelsea drew 0-0 at Brentford on Sunday but ought to be too strong for a Legia side that have won just one of their last four in the domestic Ekstraklasa.
