Chelsea entertain Steaua Bucharest at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night looking to secure top spot in Champions League Group E.
The Blues are already safely through to the knockout stages but will want to see-off the Romanians to ensure they finish above either Basel or Schalke.
Jose Mourinho has confirmed he’ll make some changes from the team that lost 3-2 to Stoke City on Saturday. One man who is certain to start is veteran defender Ashley Cole, with the 32-year-old set to play his first game in over a month at left-back.
