Chelsea had another good win in the English Premier League at the weekend and are still unbeaten in league and cup games this season. Not bad considering their fans weren't at all confident about the new season. They don't play a full-strength team in the Europa League but that hasn't stopped them winning their first three group games. Chelese lead the group by six points and a win here will see them in the knock-out stages with two games to go. They won their first two games by a 1-0 scoreline but did better against BATE beating them 3-1 at home with a hat-trick from Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Chelsea have won their last four games and six of the last seven and are unbeaten in their last 16 games.

BATE Borisov are bottom of the group but are one of three teams to have three points so still have every chance of making it through to the knock-out stages by finishing second. They started the group with a 2-0 win at MOL Vidi but then lost 4-1 at home to PAOK and 3-1 at Chelsea. BATE have two of their last three group games at home but aren't likely to get any points from this match with Chelsea. They have only won one of their last six Europa League games and last season faced Arsenal twice losing 6-0 and 4-2. Only one of their last nine home games in this competition have been won and this looks booked for Chelsea to get another win.
