Chelsea have already secured top spot in their Europa Conference League group, but they will look to complete a perfect group stage campaign when they host Shamrock Rovers at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.

The Blues have won all five of their group matches so far, conceding just three goals in the process. Manager Enzo Maresca has been able to rotate his squad, with the likes of Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Moises Caicedo all featuring less in Europe.

Mykhaylo Mudryk’s recent failed drugs test means he will be unavailable, but young talents like Marc Guiu and Josh Acheampong will be hoping for another chance to impress. Benoit Badiashile’s injury may open the door for Tosin Adarabioyo to start.

Shamrock Rovers have exceeded expectations in their first ever Europa Conference League group stage campaign, sitting in the top eight after 11 points from their five matches. Celtic loanee Johnny Kenny has been their star performer with five goals.

Manager Stephen Bradley will be missing just veteran midfielder Rory Gaffney through injury as his side aims to secure a point that would all but guarantee their place in the knockout round. However, they face a daunting task against a Chelsea team that has been dominant in the competition.
