Welcome to the second leg of our Round of 16 matchup against Copenhagen in the UEFA Conference League. Chelsea have a 2-1 lead from the first leg. So a draw would do, but a win would be better.
Enzo Maresca has not rotated as much as he did for that first leg, but there are plenty of fresh faces and Academy hopefuls on the bench, including 16-year-old Reggie Walsh, who would be the second youngest player to ever play for us should he make his debut.
Here we go!
