Chelsea Predicted Lineup vs. Legia Warszawa | OneFootball

Chelsea travel to Poland to face Legia Warszawa in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League quarterfinals, looking to maintain their perfect record in the competition.

The Blues have dominated in the Conference League so far, though, their performance over both legs in the round of 16 vs. Copenhagen left plenty of question marks as they struggled mightily in the two games.

The individual quality of Chelsea's squad is far superior than the majority of the remaining Conference League sides. It's clear that the Blues have a big margin for error in this competition, they won't be punished as harshly for mistakes like they would in the Premier League and it can take just a few moments of magic to win comfortably in the third-tier European competition.

Nevertheless, Chelsea are obligated to win the Conference League and it appears Enzo Maresca knows it. The Italian manager rotated his squad in the 0–0 draw vs. Brentford las time out, so expect him to field his strongest XI to get an advantage before the return leg at Stamford Bridge.
