Maccabi Tel Aviv v Chelsea: Four changes for the Blues

Oscar of Chelsea
Oscar, Gary Cahill, Cesar Azpilicueta and Baba Rahman are restored to the Chelsea side for the Champions League match against Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Baba Rahman gets a chance to impress at left-back, where Kenedy caught the eye for the Blues in Saturday’s league win against Norwich.

Boss Jose Mourinho’s other three changes mean Branislav Ivanovic, Kurt Zouma and Pedro drop to the bench.

Chelsea, currently second in Group G, will qualify for the knockout stage with a game to spare if they win in Israel this evening and third-placed Dynamo Kiev fail to win away against group leaders Porto.

Chelsea: Begovic; Azpilicueta, Cahill, Terry, Baba Rahman; Fabregas, Matic; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Costa.
Subs: Blackman, Ivanovic, Zouma, Mikel, Loftus-Cheek, Pedro, Remy.
