Good evening and welcome to SunSport’s live blog of Chelsea vs Shamrock Rovers!
All the Blues need to do is avoid a catastrophic defeat at Stamford Bridge – and they will finish top of the Conference League table.
Enzo Maresca has deployed a mix of fringe and youth players in Europe this season – due to the quality of the opposition being very low in comparison to the Premier League.
Chelsea have won all five of their Conference League league phase games this season, scoring 21 goals in the process.
Tonight they face a Shamrock side that sit sixth in the table and are looking to secure automatic qualification to the last 16.
Should they drop out of the top eight, they would be forced to battle it out in the knockout play offs.
