Chelsea host Copenhagen on Thursday night as they look to book their place in the Conference League quarter-finals.
It's advantage Chelsea heading into the Round of 16 second leg at Stamford Bridge after Enzo Maresca's Blues claimed a 2-1 victory in Denmark last Thursday in the first leg.
Goals from Reece James and Enzo Fernandez in the second half put Chelsea two ahead at Parken. Gabriel Pereira halved the deficit with 11 minutes to play in the Danish capital, leaving the tie wide open for either side to progress.
