Chelsea have the unenviable task of an almost 3,000-mile trip from Stamford Bridge to the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium in Baku, Azerbaijan on Wednesday, facing Qarabag in the Champions League. It's a place where Copenhagen have already fallen, but for Blues boss Enzo Maresca, the challenge of managing extensive travel with the demands of the Premier League can also present an opportunity for younger players in the squad.

The Blues were able to capitalize on that last season in the Conference League, but with the uptick in competition, Maresca has had to stick to his core squad in Champions League play. While Qarabag aren't a team that he can overlook, it should be a time where the Blues can rotate while still securing all three points.
