Chelsea face PAOK in Thessaloniki in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
We were expecting Maurizio Sarri to play a pretty heavily rotated team, but it’s actually got several first team members in.
Kepa stays in place in goal, Antonio Rudiger plays in defence with Marcos Alonso; and Jorginho is with N’Golo Kante in midfield.
The second stringers coming in are Davide Zappacosta for Cesar Azpilicueta, Ross Barkley for Mateo Kovacic and Alvaro Morata for Olivier Giroud.
This strong team signals a lot of intention from Sarri, he’s clearly going to take this competition very seriously. The absence of Ethan Ampadu and Callum Hudson-Odoi is a bit of a disappointment.
