Chelsea come into this tie after defeating Djurgarden in the 1st leg
Chelsea come into this tie after defeating Djurgarden in the 1st leg and also defeating the Premier league champions, Liverpool in the weekend and are now on a roll. They have considered the tournament favourites from the start and it looks like they will be going to the finals without any real pressure.
The Blues last lost a match to Arsenal
Chelsea last lost a match to Arsenal in the premier league, on 16th march and since have been on a purple patch.
“The performance for one hour, 70 minutes was good, then we dropped a little bit in the last 20 minutes because we were at 4-0. It showed us we cannot allow ourselves to drop,” said Maresca of the first leg.
Marc Guiu could play a part in tomorrow’s game
Enzo Maresca has also revealed that, though unlikely, Marc Guiu could play a part in tomorrow’s game, returning from an injury that’s kept him out for the past three months. Guiu is also Chelsea’s highest scorer in the tournament with 6 goals.
Djurgarden are 11th in the Swedish league and have had a rough new season. Getting into the semis was the highlight of their season but now they might be on the verge of getting eliminated if they are not able to produce a generational performance in front of their English opponents.
