This is the Chelsea confirmed lineup for their Europa Conference League second leg clash with Copenhagen. The Blues take a slim 2-1 lead into this one with a crucial league tie against Arsenal to come on Sunday.

Chelsea Team News
Filip Jorgensen starts in goal behind a back line of Josh Acheampong, Trevoh Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Benoit Badiashile. Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez both start in the deeper midfield spots. Tyrique George and Jadon Sancho are the wingers with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall playing behind Pedro Neto as the striker. Enzo and Dewsbury-Hall could switch.
Rob Sanchez is on the strong bench alongside Levi Colwill, Lucas Bergstrom, Harrison Murray-Campbell, Marc Cucurella, Genesis Antwi, Reece James, Mathis Amougou, Cole Palmer, Christopher Nkunku, Shim Mheua, and Reggie Walsh. This bench features proven senior players if they are needed and some young stars should the tie be put to bed early.
Chelsea Lineup: Jorgensen, Acheampong, Badiashile, Chalobah, Tosin, Enzo, Caicedo, Dewsbury-Hall, George, Sancho, Neto
Notable Changes
The entire defensive line being changed allows some key players to get a rest with Malo Gusto still completely absent from the squad. Wesley Fofana also isn’t registered for this competition so Colwill and James are the two rested to protect them ahead of the Arsenal tie.
Palmer being dropped is usually a shock but he hasn’t played well lately and suffered with an illness at the weekend so deserves some rest before the key London derby.
