Chelsea have gone far and beyond in their Europa League group stage, locking first place in their group by winning all of the five games they had so far. And so, they have allowed themselves the luxury of resting a few of their players ahead of the usually hectic schedule laid upon us in the months of December and January — although a win remains imperative for us here.
Chelsea have eight consecutive Europa League wins, chasing the record of 15 set by Atletico Madrid. Maurizio Sarri has also won 7/7 group stage games in this competition. #CFC #VIDIvCFC
