LIVE – Napoli v Chelsea: Commentary, updates, goal and stats

Chelsea face the tough task of trying to win in Naples tonight to secure automatic qualification for the Champions League round of 16.

The Blues start the night in eighth place, the final spot that would mean they avoid next month’s playoffs. A draw is unlikely to be enough while a defeat would definitely mean two more games.

Napoli, led by former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, also have plenty to play for. They are 25th, just one place outside the playoff spots.

It is sure to be a hostile atmosphere at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
