Chelsea have a chance to kick-start their winning ways for the 2024/25 season, after losing to Man City at home in the Premier League opening weekend. Chelsea will now host Servette in the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off tie. The winner of the tie will then qualify for the Europa Conference League group stage.

In his first season in charge of Chelsea, Enzo Maresca will be hopeful to lift the Europa Conference League. It is not a trophy which Chelsea are above, given their current state as a club. Winning the Conference League could give the players a boost of confidence which they need and it also serves as a route into the Europa League, should they fail through their league standings.
