Azerbaijan’s capital, Baku, is a happy hunting ground for Chelsea. Wednesday’s trip will evoke fond memories of beating Arsenal 4-1 in the 2019 Europa League final and a pair of Champions League wins over Qarabag the season prior.

Qarabag are not far behind in the standings, though, trailing Chelsea only on goal difference. They stunned Benfica 3-2 to open their own campaign – a result which directly led to the Portuguese side sacking manager Bruno Lage and hiring Jose Mourinho.

The 12-time champions of Azerbaijan have since managed a victory over Copenhagen and tasted defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid. They come into this match on impressive form, though, with the Atletico match their only defeat in their last 11 outings.
