Legia Warsaw vs Chelsea: Starting XIs, confirmed team news for Conference League clash | OneFootball

Enzo Maresca has named his Chelsea side to face Legia Warsaw in the Conference League.

Chelsea are in the Polish capital, Warsaw, for the 1st leg of their quarter-final tie against Legia after progressing past FC Copenhagen in the last-16 last month.

Maresca has named a strong travelling squad for Thursday's tie, with Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson all involved in the matchday squad.

With Chelsea edging closer to May's final, which also takes place in Poland, expectation is increasing on Maresca's side. After a blip, they are unbeaten in their last two matches (W1, D1) and will be hoping to build momentum heading into the final weeks of the season.

"I know for Chelsea as a club, fans, players, it's something normal in the past (to win)," said Maresca ahead of the European clash. "But because in the last period we struggled a little bit, I think this season, the entire season has been quite good until now. But probably from good to be very good, we need to finish where we are and hopefully we finish there."
