After a much-needed win against Brentford at the weekend, Chelsea must now win against Pafos if they want to make it to the last 16 of the UCL.
Chelsea are in 13th place, just two points of a place off automatic qualification into the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League. The Blues will want to avoid the playoffs, as it would mean more fixtures for a squad that has barely rested since last season.
This is a season of firsts for Rosenoir since taking over at Chelsea. He has coached his first-ever EPL and FA Cup game, and he’s about to coach his first UCL game. He would be looking to crown it with a win.

In beating Brentford, Chelsea took a big blow as Tosin Adarabioyo was taken off due to an injury. Adding to this, Rosenoir will need last-minute assessments on Estevao, Gittens, and Gusto to see if they can be selected for this fixture.
For Pafos, they have been dealt a big blow as former Chelsea defender David Luiz will miss his Stamford Bridge reunion after coming off injured in their recent league game.
