Head to London and Stamford Bridge for the second leg of the Conference League clash between Chelsea and Copenhagen! Although Chelsea managed to take the lead in the first leg 1 week ago (1-2), anything is still possible in this double-header, in which the Danes will be looking to create a stir on English soil! Watch the match live from 4 pm EST on Thursday!

Thanks to goals from Reece James (46') and Enzo Fernandez (65'), Chelsea has taken the first step towards qualification for the quarter-finals by taking a slight lead! It's an advantage that remains fragile, however, and one that Enzo Maresca's men will need to build on quickly if they are to avoid a possible Danish comeback. Considered the competition's favorites, Chelsea are still unbeaten in 7 matches, with the same number of wins! In the league, Chelsea won at Stamford Bridge last weekend against Leicester (1-0), a stadium where the Blues have suffered just 2 defeats this season and are currently on a run of 6 consecutive games unbeaten in all competitions!

For their part, Copenhagen managed to find the net in the first leg through Gabriel Pereira (79'), thus reducing the goal gap with Chelsea and keeping them in with a chance of playing on Thursday! 18th at the end of the league phase, and qualified for the 8th round after the play-off against Heidenheim, Copenhagen have shown some signs of weakness on their travels in the competition, notably in their last league match against Rapid Vienna, in which the Danish club lost heavily (3-0)...
