Chelsea have already won this Europa League group having won all five of their fixtures to date. They lead by nine points and travel to MOL Vidi who still have a chance of qualifying. The Londoners want to build on their win over Manchester City at the weekend and although they will play a weakened side, that hasn't hurt them one bit in this group so far. Five group games have seen them score ten goals and concede just the one. The reverse fixture against MOL Vidi saw Chelsea get a 1-0 win thanks to a Morata goal twenty minutes from time. Chelsea have won their last eight games in this competition and their last four away games.

While their opponents are already in the last 32, the home side have a lot of work to do if they are to join them. They start the game in third place level on points with BATE Borisov but behind them because of the results between the two teams in this group. MOL Vidi have to get at least a point from this game but if BATE win away at PAOK, then that will end their qualification hopes. Their only points in this group have come from home and away wins against PAOK  They have lost four of their last six games in this competition and domestic form saw them lose 2-1 at Ujpest at the weekend. They've won their last three home games without conceding but Chelsea have a much stronger side and can get a narrow win here.
