Chelsea have won all five games in the UEFA Conference League so far and can reach six out of six if they beat Shamrock Rovers.
However, the Irish side have a good chance of closing in on the leaders in the knockout stages and will be tough opponents for Enzo Maresca’s in-form side.
This is how the teams line up:
