Chelsea
Maccabi Tel Aviv
- With Thibaut Courtois out for a matter of months Asmir Begovic will make his Champions League debut on Wednesday.
- Elsewhere Jose Mourinho is tipped to make a few changes, with the likes of Ivanovic, Terry, Matic and Costa all set to lose their places.
- Ruben Loftus-Cheek is set to start alongside Cesc Fabregas with Oscar earning his first start of the season.
- In the case of the latter, with Falcao set to miss out with a minor injury, that could mean a start for Loic Remy, while Baba Rahman is hoping to make his Chelsea debut.
- Defender Eliazer Dasa is suspended having been sent off for former club Beitar Jerusalem in the Europa League qualifying rounds this summer.
- Midfielder Eran Zahavi is undoubtedly the one to watch for the visitors right now, scoring in 7 of Maccabi's last 10 league and European matches, as well as for Isreal during the international break.
- Former Blues player Slavisa Jokanovic returns to the club as manager of the away side having led Watford to promotion to the Premier League last season.
Nobody says anything about Loftus-Cheek debut? He has a good rating, how did he play yesterday?
ivanovic is pure s-hit since the firing of Eva.. mou should have sent him also
fabregas 139 touches ,125 passes =absolute domination of the pitch. OMG! some plastic fans of chelsea ask to replace him in the EPL.they are crazys .He is simply irreplaceable. But MOU should play him as ATM or no10 and fix costa as a real striker like benzima and leva to receive the short passes and to fix the defense as in the 1st half of the last season. hopefully, ivanovich -the most bad crosser in the world-is out. I am happy of tonight's squad.
@sampo He was facing the weakest team in group stage

Nosa undroppable, will start alongside Alberman for sure Rikan most likely as the Left Back
Chelsea will find their form again. 3-1. Pedro with 2 and Hazard with a pen.
