Alejandro Garnacho, who has only just come on, drags his side back onto level terms with a lovely finish from just inside the box. How Chelsea needed that. Will they go on and win this? Qarabag 2-1 Chelsea Leon Osman Former Everton and England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live Qarabag have started this second half full of confidence and full of belief. Not only in the team but individually. Qarabag 2-1 Chelsea Honestly, Qarabag are showing some lovely footwork. They're full value for this lead right now. Tosin Adarabioyo loses possession to Camilo Duran and the Premier League club are on the backfoot yet again. Qarabag 2-1 Chelsea Enzo Maresca is sticking with Jorrel Hato for now. Pafos 1-0 Villarreal The deadlock has been broken in the other early game and it's Pafos that lead. Centre-half Derrick Luckassen rose highest at a corner to nod home and send the home fans into raptures. It's the very first time in the Cypriot's club history that they lead a game in the Champions League group stage. What a moment. Qarabag 2-1 Chelsea Two bookings in quick succession. After Chelsea's captain Reece James gets his name taken for a foul, Matheus Silva is shown a yellow card for aruging. Qarabag 2-1 Chelsea Enzo Fernandez, Liam Delap and Alejandro Garnacho are all on. Andrey Santos, Jamie Gittens and Tyrique George are replaced.

Steve HT: Qarabag 2-1 Chelsea Leon Osman Former Everton and England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live You can't keep asking Moises Caicedo to play every minute of every game. If he picks up an injury then that would be a nightmare. Comment on this page or via Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) We should literally be winning 4 or 5 nil with this £1bn team. Ray HT: Qarabag 2-1 Chelsea Nizaar Kinsella BBC Sport Chelsea reporter in Baku No Premier League team has made more changes than Chelsea this season. In the last five games, Chelsea have made at least seven and up to 11 changes in each match. It feels like Enzo Maresca is always risking this kind of performance when he makes so many changes every match. Equally, you can say the Italian is showing great trust in his squad, giving chances and Chelsea may benefit in the long run. Yet the trade off is inconsistency with this very young line up out there today in a match that was always going to be difficult - given Qarabag have delivered a few upsets in the Champions League already. HT: Qarabag 2-1 Chelsea Should Enzo Maresca have named a stronger team? HT: Qarabag 2-1 Chelsea Chelsea This is only the third time in the Champions League that Chelsea have scored first and trailed at half time in a game after Napoli in February 2012 and Zenit St Petersburg in December 2021. Will they turn it around - or Qarabag send shockwaves around Europe? HT: Qarabag 2-1 Chelsea Kelly Cates Presenter on BBC Radio 5 Live It's hard not to point the finger at Jorrel Hato. ..

Manchester City v Borussia Dortmund BBC Radio 5 Live Listen here at 20: 00 UEFA Champions League All competitions All competitions All competitions The previous two meetings between Qarabag and Chelsea were also in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, with the Blues winning 6-0 at home and 4-0 away in the 2017-18 edition. Chelsea have scored 10 goals in two games against Qarabag in the UEFA Champions League, with this their joint-most in their first two matches against an opponent in the competition (also 10 v Nordsjælland). Qarabag have lost all seven of their games against English sides in Europe, conceding 21 goals and only scoring once themselves. Indeed, their only goal came via a penalty versus Tottenham in September 2015, and have failed to score in all six matches against English opposition since then.   Including the FIFA Club World Cup, Chelsea have won 20 of their 23 games in international competition under Enzo Maresca (excluding qualifiers), scoring at least once in all 23 matches and averaging 2. 9 goals per outing (66 scored in total).   After beating Copenhagen in their previous UEFA Champions League home match (2-0), Qarabag will be looking to win back-to-back home games in the same season in major European competition for the first time ever.   Chelsea have lost each of their last three away games in the UEFA Champions League, and have only once previously lost four in a row on the road in the competition (between December 2004-May 2005). Qarabag have taken six of nine points available in the UEFA Champions League this season (W2 L1), after only winning two of 18 available in their previous appearance in this tournament (P6 D2 L4 in 2017-18). The Azerbaijani side have also already tripled their goal haul from the 2017-18 edition (2), netting six goals in three games this term. Chelsea have already handed appearances to 25 different players in the UEFA Champions League this season, more than any other team in the first three matchdays. The Blues also had the second youngest starting XI in terms of average age in this period (23y 339d), only behind Paris SG (23y 261d). Estêvão scored his first UEFA Champions League goal last time out against Ajax. Should he find the net in this game, the Brazilian would become the first South American player to score in consecutive appearances while aged 18 or younger. Qarabag’s Leandro Andrade has scored three goals in five appearances in major European competition in 2025, as many as he managed in 22 European outings for the club prior to this year (three goals). Moisés Caicedo has completed 92. 9 percent of his passes under high-intensity pressure in the UEFA Champions League this season (65/70); the third-best completion rate by a central midfielder across the opening three matchdays (min. 50 attempted), behind Arthur Vermeeren (93. 3%) and Aleix García (93%).
