CHELSEA are looking for their second Europa League win as they prepare to face Videoton at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.
The Blues face the Hungarian side on the back of a hard fought draw with title competitors Liverpool who scored a late equaliser thanks to a worldie from Daniel Sturridge.
Videoton travel to west London after defeating Diosgyor away from home on Sunday and sit third in the Hungarian league.
Key Man
There is no question Eden Hazard is one of the best players in world football at the moment, but as he is likely to be rested, Chelseas key man for this fixture will be Ross Barkley.
Barkley has found his feet as a Blue this season under Maurizio Sarri, after struggling with injury and to break into the side under Antonio Conte last season.
This season, the scouse midfielder has put together some fine performances, providing the assist for Willian in Chelseas last Europa League clash against PAOK and a putting in a very good performance against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup.
Weakest Link
Alvaro Morata has continued to struggle this season as a Chelsea player and Olivier Giroud has replaced him in the starting team.
The Spaniard only has one goal in six appearances this season but will be hoping he can get on the score sheet against this opposition.
The Spaniard has 12 goals in 37 appearances for Chelsea.
The stat that matters
Blues boss Maurizo Sarri has a 100% record in the group stages of the Europa League during his time as a manager.
He won six out of six group stage games with Napoli and now has one win with Chelsea there have been five clean sheets in this run.
