Cole Palmer returns as one of five changes and the lineup was confirmed
Chelsea head to Poland tonight to get a first leg lead in the conference league quarterfinals against Legia Warsaw.
The Blues are still scheduled to compete in the Champions League next season through league positions, but Enzo Maresca knows his position at Stamford Bridge will be greatly enhanced by winning the European trophy.
Chelsea drew 0-0 in a crippling draw at Brentford on Sunday, but should be too strong for Legia, who lost four of the last six in the domestic ExtraCrasa.
