Chelsea are in Conference League action for the final time this year when they host Shamrock Rovers on Thursday. The Blues entertain Irish opposition for the first time in their history and Enzo Maresca is looking to make it six wins from six in Europe’s third-tier club competition.
Maresca’s side made light work of Astana last time out with a 3-1 victory in Kazkahnstan and kept up their momentum on Saturday following the 2-1 win over Brentford. Chelsea are of course strong favourites to win the tournament but Shamrock haven’t tasted defeat in Europe this season.
