Chelsea hit the road again in the Europa Conference League and this time they travel to Greece.
The Blues won their opening match of the campaign, beating Gent 4-2 at Stamford Bridge.
Now, they will be up against one of the Super League’s top sides.
There will be a host of big names missing for Chelsea, as Enzo Maresca looks to manage the workload ahead of a packed schedule.
It means the likes of Cole Palmer and Reece James will not be present for this one.
Read on to discover how both teams line-up for Thursday’s early kick-off.
