Line-ups confirmed as Acheampong handed start
Chelsea have won all five of their games so far in the Uefa Conference League and can make it six out of six if they beat Shamrock Rovers.
The Irish side are well placed to join the leaders in the knockout stage though and will be tough opposition for Enzo Maresca’s in-form side.
Here’s how the teams line up:

Rovers have won three of their five games so far and come into the match in sixth place in the table. Qualification as one of the eight best qualifiers is very much on.
