Chelsea vs Legia Warszawa, UEFA – Conference League, Stamford Bridge, 17:45

Chelsea heads into the second leg of their Conference League quarter-final against Legia Warsaw at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night with a significant advantage.

Enzo Maresca’s team leads 3-0 after their visit to Poland last week, further reinforcing their status as strong favorites to clinch this competition next month.

Last Thursday, an utterly dominant display in Warsaw means Chelsea are virtually assured of their place in the semi-finals, barring the most extraordinary comeback in UEFA competition history.

Noni Madueke netted twice for the Blues after Tyrique George opened the scoring for Maresca’s side early in the second half, and amassing an xG above four means Chelsea could have won by even more goals.

Chelsea are 15 from 15 when it comes to progressing in Europe after winning the first leg away from home, and this will be one of the most comfortable leads they have had in any of those previous ties.

With Legia already down and out, Chelsea’s kids should be allowed to prove themselves in the first team, and that could encourage a positive performance, which may result in another handsome victory for Maresca’s side.
