Chelsea v PAOK: Europa League – live!

* Europa League updates from the 8pm GMT kick-off * Rangers v Villarreal – live! Join John Brewin * Listen to the latest Football Weekly Extra podcast * And feel free to email Paul or to tweet @Paul_Doyle 7.04pm GMT Sarri has changed all 10 outfield players from the defeat to Spurs. The newcomers include 18-year Hudson-Odoi, an exciting winger given his first start of the season. CHELSEA: Arrizabalaga; Zappacosta, Cahill, Christensen, Emerson; Fabregas, Loftus-Cheek, Barkley; Pedro, Giroud, Hudson-Odoi 5.59pm GMT Hello. The bad news for PAOK Salnika is that this match means something to Chelsea. Even though the Londoners have already qualified for the last 32 of this competition, having won all four of their matches to date, they are eager to go through as group winners – and, most of all, Maurizio Sarri had demanded to see a reaction to their first defeat of the season, which came as a result of last weekend’s dishevelled performance against Spurs. So though the Greeks need a win to stay alive in this competition, Chelsea will be bearing no gifts. But nor will PAOK make things easy for Chelsea, who edged to a 1-0 win when the teams met earlier in the competition. Runaway leaders of the Greek league, PAOK have performed better away than at home in Europe this season. They drew at Basel and Spartak Moscow before being eliminated from the Champions League before the group stages and their only win so far in this competition was a 4-1 triumph at Bate Borisov. They could conceivably punish another outbreak of slackness by the home team. Continue reading...
