Chelsea take on Swedish outfit Malmo on Tuesday night in a group stage fixture outing for Thomas Tuchel’s men in the Champions League.
The Blues have been in spirited form of late and Saturday’s 3-0 win away at Newcastle United was a fourth on the trot for Thomas Tuchel’s men who are three points clear of Liverpool at the summit of the league table.
Malmo will not be a tough task for the high-flying Blues but Thomas Tuchel tipped to rest a host of his big name players, securing a win away from the Bridge in the group stage outing will be of much importance to the Chelsea camp.
The last meeting between these two sides earlier in this competition had finished in a rather convincing 4-0 win for Chelsea with goals apiece from Andreas Christensen and Kai Havertz and a brace from midfield maestro Jorginho.
