Europa League preview: MOL Vidi v Chelsea

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri admitted tonight’s Europa League clash against Vidi has been a “difficult match to prepare for” because the Blues have nothing on the line in Hungary.

Chelsea have won all of their five Group L matches so first-team regulars Eden Hazard, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Antonio Rudiger, Cesar Azpilicueta and N’Golo Kante have not travelled with the squad.

Sarri boasted about his plans to play “2000-born” players in tonight’s match, but there will be a competitive edge given Vidi need to better BATE Borisov’s result against PAOK to qualify for the next round. Follow the live action below:

When is it?

Vidi vs Chelsea kicks-off at 5:55pm GMT at MOL Arena Sosto.

Where to watch?

Vidi 0-0 Chelsea

5 minutes

A chance for the hosts. Nikolov finds himself with space on the left and drives into the box. His shot is wayward, though, sliced way wide of goal.

Vidi 0-0 Chelsea

9 minutes

Willian floats in a corner towards Morata, whose header trickles through to goalkeeper Kovacsik. No one can convert it on the way.

At the other end, Milanov latches onto a long ball and plays the ball across goal. It evades everyone and Chelsea clear.

Vidi 0-0 Chelsea

14 minutes

Vidi are defending resolutely so far. They look compact off the ball and break quickly when they win it back. This isn't going to be easy for Maurizio Sarri's side.

Vidi 0-0 Chelsea

17 minutes

The tempo of the game has dropped slightly in the last few minutes. Chelsea are keeping possession, but with very little cutting edge in the final third thus far.

Vidi 0-0 Chelsea

20 minutes

Willian drives down the left wing with purpose but sees his attempted cross blocked. The Brazilian has probably been the liveliest of Chelsea's forward players.

Vidi 0-0 Chelsea

22 minutes

Morata makes a run in behind and wins a corner. Much of the focus will be on him tonight. His body language doesn't suggest he's particularly happy, perhaps because he's been demoted to the B team for what is, in effect, a dead rubber.

Vidi 0-0 Chelsea

23 minutes

Vidi spring into life and find themselves in Chelsea's box. Nego collects the ball, swivels and fires a shot at goal, but it's straight at Caballero.

Vidi 0-0 Chelsea

25 minutes

A big goal has gone in in the group's other game. BATE Borisov lead at PAOK: as it stands they're going through ahead of Vidi.

Vidi 0-0 Chelsea

29 minutes

Willian drives towards the box, goes down and wins a free kick. The contact was minimal, but enough for referee Aleksandar Stavrev. This is a chance...

GOAL! Vidi 0-1 Chelsea (Willian)

​30 minutes

Willian picks himself up, lines up the set piece and curls it into the net. The goalkeeper might have done better, but it was a well struck free kick. Chelsea lead.
