A fortnight after their one-sided meeting in London, holders Chelsea reconvene with Malmo in Champions League Group H on Tuesday.
At the Eleda Stadion, the European champions are second in the group behind Juventus, while their opponents are bottom of the table with no goals or points.
Team news
Malmo
Anel Ahmedhodzic is anticipated to start in a three-man backline for the home side after serving his suspension.
Eric Larsson should return to right-wing-back as a result of this.
Felix Beijmo is a question mark, but Ola Toivonen, Jonas Knudsen, and Patriot Sejdiu have all been left out.
Chelsea
Timo Werner, Romelu Lukaku, and Mateo Kovacic have all been ruled out until after the international break due to injuries.
Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount will be evaluated, with the intention of being fit enough to travel to Sweden.
Kepa, Trevoh Chalobah, and Saul Niguez are among the players that could start here.
Prediction
Malmoe FF has gone three games without losing after losing 4-0 to Chelsea in the Champions League at Stamford Bridge. During that time, they have picked up seven points. Only four of their last seven home games have resulted in victories.
Chelsea has won six consecutive competitive matches, and their 3-0 victory over Newcastle gave them a three-point lead at the top of the Premier League table. They’ll seek to finish game week four tied for first place in Group H with Juventus.
On Tuesday evening, the Blues should have little trouble dispatching Malmoe FF.
