Chelsea must negotiate a long trip to Azerbaijan as they continue their Champions League campaign against Qarabag.
Enzo Maresca’s side have bounced back from defeat to Bayern Munich in their opening fixture with consecutive wins, and will hope to continue to build momentum in Europe.
Amid a busy domestic schedule, Maresca has confirmed that he will rotate his side after the long trip to Baku.
But the Chelsea manager will be wary of the threat posed by the hosts — Qarabag have beaten Benfica and Copenhagen already this season to sit level on points with their opponents.
Here’s everything you need to know.
