Chelsea got off to a good start to their Premier League campaign on Sunday afternoon but have a chance to get a first win under Enzo Maresca on Thursday.
The Blues lost 2-0 to Manchester City following the Champions League display and questions continue to be asked about the club’s handling of the transfer market. However, a convincing win against Swiss side Servette in midweek could go a long way towards pleasing the Stamford Bridge faithful.
Chelsea will face the Swiss Super League side in the Conference League in the first leg of their play-off qualifiers. The winner of the clash in both legs will automatically qualify for the 36-team extended league stage of the competition.
