Chelsea - Gent: Form Analysis
This season Chelsea have the chance to become the first team to win all three UEFA club competitions. They missed European football in totality last season and this is a great chance to make up for it.
With one of the most expensively assembled teams, Enzo Maresca’s charges will feel confident of going all the way. Recent form favors them too, having won each of their last four matches.
The Blues have an extra edge in their new found scoring form. They come into this match having netted 12 times in just the last three matches.
Gent reached the Conference League knockouts in the last three seasons.
Gent are appearing in this competition at this stage for the fourth consecutive season. They had to do it through the qualifying rounds but they’ve shown they can compete at this level.
In their six matches in the qualification phases, they won five times and drew once. Gent also reached the knockout rounds in each of their previous appearances in this competition.
It means that while they are underdogs coming into this game, Gent will not be pushovers. They beat OH Leuven 3-0 in their last outing for their third win in four matches.

Chelsea & Gent Squad Analysis
Chelsea will not be fielding Cole Palmer here, as he wasn’t registered for this competition. The Blues will, however, not be short of attacking talent.
Jadon Sancho has started life at Chelsea on a high. In each of his three matches for the club, he has assisted a goal. Having played in the Champions League final last season, Sancho’s experience will be crucial for Chelsea.
The injuries are also easing at Chelsea and only Reece James remains in the treatment room.
Cole Palmer isn’t registered for the Conference League and thus will not feature here.
Things aren’t as rosy at Gent, who lost a number of top players during the summer transfer period. That isn’t helped by the fact their infirmary has been swelling up with visitors.
Sven Kums is unavailable with injury, and the same applies to new boy Aime Omgba who is still waiting for his debut. Andrew Hjulsager is a doubt for this game as well.
Max Dean scored in back-to-back starts and will be a contender for a starting berth.
