UEFA Conference League: Round of I6
Venue: Stamford Bridge
Time: 2045
What you need to know
After securing a 2-1 first-leg victory last week, Chelsea welcome Copenhagen to Stamford Bridge for the second leg of their Conference League last-16 tie on Thursday night.
The winner of this contest on aggregate will face either Molde or Legia Warsaw in the quarter-finals.
Chelsea are heavy favourites to win the Conference League.
The Blues have won their last three games in all competitions, scoring seven goals and conceding just one.
Copenhagen were held to a 1-1 Superliga draw against Sønderjyske at the weekend – a result which saw them knocked off top spot.
Copenhagen must overturn a one-goal deficit against Chelsea if they wish to avoid a repeat of their last-16 exit in their previous Conference League appearance in 2021-22.
