How both teams go into Chelsea vs Legia Warsaw

Chelsea are odds-on favourites to win the Europa Conference League and they flexed their muscles in the first leg of their quarter-final tie. The Blues remain perfect in the competition since the group stages, winning all nine of their matches. In the group stage, Chelsea scored the most goals and conceded the joint-fewest. They had to work for their spot in the quarter-finals, with a 3-1 aggregate victory over FC Copenhagen. And they had to wait until the second half for all there of their goals against Legia Warsaw.

Legia Warsaw are on their deepest run in a European competition since 1995-96, when they reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. They were in the Europa Conference League last season but fell in the knockout phase play-offs. Legia Warsaw skipped that round this time, thanks to a seventh-placed finish in the group stage. The Polish side won four and lost two of their six matches, boasting the joint-best defence in the group stage conceding five goals. But they’ve conceded six goals in three knockout stage matches, with three across their two legs against Molde before Chelsea put three past them.
