On Wednesday, Chelsea play their second match in Group E of the Champions League when they make the trip to Russia to play FK Krasnodar.

It will be the first time the two sides have met in European competition with FK Krasnodar only making their second appearance in the Champions League, courtesy of finishing third in the Russian League last season.

The game, at the Krasnodar Stadium, kicks off slightly earlier then we are accustomed to, at 17:55 UK time.
