On Wednesday, Sevilla FC receives Chelsea on the occasion of Matchday 5 of Group E of the Champions League. The two teams are competing for 1st place in the group. Sevilla and Chelsea take to the pitch at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, in a match counting for round 4 of the Champions League group E. Spaniards and English have already qualified for the round of 16, since they won the 3 duels against Rennes and Krasnodar (1 point), drawing with each other, thus adding 10 points. In this way, Andalusians and Blues, who in the first round drew zero balls in London, will be able to share the lead in Seville, not least because if Chelsea has a better goal difference in relation to those visited (+5 goals), it is also certain that they will have the journey in the legs, acting out of doors. We believe in a very divided clash, in which the fight for the first place will be of notorious balance.

Winner of the Europa League last year, Sevilla FC has tackled the transition to the Champions League this season. Already guaranteed to participate in the round of 16, the Andalusians are currently 2nd in Group E and have the same number of points as their opponent of the day. After taking a good point at Stamford Bridge for their entry into the running (1-1), they met expectations by winning against Rennes (1-0) and against Krasnodar during the last 2 days (3-2 to home and 1-2 away).

The staff for Sevilla FC vs Chelsea
For Sevilla FC, the nugget Carlos Fernandez should still not be available for this meeting just like the important Bounou (titular goalkeeper), Acuna and Suso. In addition, the side-frame Sergi Escudero joined the infirmary in recent days. The titular right side Navas should make his return from suspension.
Chelsea is only deprived of the injured US winger Pulisic. Otherwise, the workforce is in full force for this shock of the hen. Coming into play last week, Olivier Giroud gave the victory to the Blues in added time. The German international Havertz could regain a starting place just like the excellent Hakim Ziyech.
