Chelsea are doing everything they can to be back in the Champions League next season. The win over West Ham United on Monday evening moved them up to third in the English Premier League. If their bid to get a top four finish fails, there's always the back-door of winning the Europa League to achieve their aim. Chelsea won their group with ease winning five of their six games. The last 32 saw them comfortably dispose of Malmo FF and Dinamo Kiev proved no opposition at all losing 8-0 on aggregate. That's the Dinamo Kiev who beat Slavia Prague in the third qualifying round of this season's Champions League.

Slavia Prague came from behind to beat Sevilla in the last 16 but did concede three goals in the second leg in the Czech Republic. They finished second behind Zenit St Petersburg in the group stages and didnt concede a home goal with two matches won and a goalless draw with FC Copenhagen. Prague are seven points clear at the top of the Czech League so look Champions League bound next season. They have gone ten home games without defeat and in five home Europa League games this season are unbeaten with four clean sheets. Chelsea are in form though and they can get a narrow away win here.
