Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Dynamo Kiev

Chelsea must switch their attention from the top-four battle in the Premier League to Europa League action on Thursday when they host Dynamo Kiev at Stamford Bridge for the first leg of their last-16 tie.

Back-to-back wins in London derbies have eased the pressure on Maurizio Sarri's shoulders, with Champions League qualification now back in their own hands.

The Europa League offers an alternative route into Europe's top-tier club competition, though, and the Blues will hope to put one foot in the quarter-finals with a commanding first-leg win.
