Chelsea face Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday night in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final clash.
The German side are hoping to follow on from their domestic cup success last season by winning their second title in the competition.
The Eagles are going through a poor patch of form, however, having won just one of their last five games in all competitions.
To add to their worries, striker Sebastian Haller, who has netted 14 Bundesliga goals this season, is injured for the match and Croatian forward Ante Rebic is suspended – dealing a big blow to boss Adi Hutter.
Nonetheless, there remains a feeling around the German club that they can be more than a match for Chelsea, who have looked uninspiring on several occasions this season.

“We have come a long and hard way to reach the semi-finals. The fans have supported us tremendously. We know the significance of the game for the club. That’s why we’re so happy.”
