Head to head

The two sides have never met in a Uefa competition before, though PAOK have never lost to an English team.

The Greek outfit have beaten Arsenal (1-0 in 1997) and Tottenham (2-1 in 2011), while Chelsea are undefeated against teams from Greece.


Team news

Sarri will likely juggle his squad with a London derby against West Ham to plan for on Sunday, especially with plenty of competition for places.

Cesc Fabregas and Ruben Loftus-Cheek may start if they return to fitness in time, with Danny Drinkwater and Ross Barkley also pushing for minutes in midfield.

Alvaro Morata should lead the line with Willian in support, and the likes of Andreas Christensen and Davide Zappacosta will almost certainly start at the back.

Willy Caballero could also play in goal to give new No.1 Kepa Arrizabaaga a breather after the youngster's world-record summer transfer.
