Should see a good bit of rotation and a few youngsters. Should. 

Hope we make this competition a priority. Play for the top 4 as best we can of course but if we have to pick between the two go for this trophy.

With that being said 1 away goal and is curtains for them imo so I would go with:

 

Big willy

 

Zappa 

Cahill

christensen 

Alonso 

 

Kova

Ampadu

Barkely

 

Willian

Giroud

CHO 

 

Subs: Bulka, Azpi, Rudiger, RLC, Kante, Pedro, Higuain.

Leave the rest at home to rest.

OMG - I just heard that they are expecting 65k people attending this match ? - I guess one goal will do the job for Chelsea to advance to the next round

At least Jorginho won't hear any boos.

Looks like Higuain did not make the trip

Here's the 21 man squad: https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2019/03/13/chelsea-squad-arrives-in-kiev

Doesn't appear to be any other omissions, unless you count Cahill or Drinkwater

Surprising thought he might have actually rested a couple by allowing them to stay here.

Hopefully a good amount of the regulars won't have to see the pitch, but agreed it would have been nice to leave a few more at home to avoid the long trip.

Higuain hasn’t travelled. 

Cahill and Drinkwater continue to be entirely overlooked and also have not travelled. 

Three times as many goalkeepers have travelled as strikers. 

                     Willy

Zappa Rudiger Andreas Alonso

                   Jorginho

            RLC            Barkley

Pedro                                 CHO

                      Giroud

Man The Ukraine are pulling out all the jewels for CFC's arrival

 

I feel like the exact same team will be played as last leg. Possibly RLC getting a start.

Just get the win and move on to the next round pretty please!

Gaffer's Pre-match press conference

 

The Dynamo Kiev Killa's interview

 

Pitch is rotten, we should have left our most key players at home.

                     Willy
Zappa Rudiger Andreas Alonso
                   Jorginho
            RLC            Barkley
Pedro                                 CHO
                      Giroud

Ampadu for Rudiger or Jorginho.

 If we go through and Arsenal get knocked out I think we have a high chance of winning this competition. Napoli IMO would be the last threatening team to us winning the competition. We haven't had the best of seasons but it would be nice to get a trophy and also qualify to the Champions League.

Good luck boys! 

Sounds like the pitch is a nightmare. Will we still try to play out of the back under these conditions? One bobble could spell disaster

Game Day.

Come on Chelsea !

Match day.....COME ON YOU BLUES !

Cahill and Drinkwater didn't travel, so we're good.
