Chelsea aims for their third consecutive win in the UEFA Conference League as they host FC Noah at Stamford Bridge. Coach Enzo Maresca is expected to make significant changes to the lineup, particularly with an important match against Arsenal approaching. Nevertheless, he will insist on another strong performance in this European tournament.
While Chelsea will introduce several new faces, they enter the match as clear favorites against their opponents from the Armenian Premier League, who only started seven years ago and have not encountered teams of Chelsea’s caliber previously.
