Chelsea have won all five of their games so far in the Uefa Conference League and can make it six out of six if they beat Shamrock Rovers.
The Irish side are well placed to join the leaders in the knockout stage though and will be tough opposition for Enzo Maresca’s in-form side.
Here’s how the teams line up:
