Sevilla and Chelsea get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Champions League Group Stage fixture.

It's no vacation for neither Sevilla nor Chelsea as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

These teams have little in common geographically as Chelsea have to travel 2100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
