Servette vs Chelsea: Conference League play-off news – LIVE!

Team news

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has made seven changes to the team that beat West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday.

Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell, Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho, Kai Havertz and Armando Broja all come into the starting line-up.

Edouard Mendy, Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, Marcos Alonso, Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku drop out.

Servette have made two changes to the team that lost to Vaduz in the Swiss Super League on Friday.

Ricardo Rodriguez and Alex Schalk come into the side in place of Boubacar Fofana and Isaac Schmidt.

Match preview

Chelsea will be looking to make a winning start to their Conference League campaign when they take on Servette in the play-off round on Thursday.

The Blues are the favourites to progress to the group stage, but they will need to be wary of a Servette side that has already shown they can cause an upset this season.

The Swiss side knocked out Molde in the previous round, and they will be hoping to make it two Premier League scalps in a row.

Chelsea will be without several key players for the match, including N'Golo Kante, Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner.

But Tuchel still has a strong squad to choose from, and he will be confident of getting a positive result in Switzerland.
