Good evening all. It's almost time for another night of Champions League action, with Chelsea travelling to Maribor, who were crushed 6-0 by Jose Mourinho's side at Stamford Bridge a couple of weeks ago.

Hazard enjoys his first run at the Maribor defence, exchanging a quick one-two but unable to find Schurrle or Drogba with the cross.

Felipe Luis gallops forward and delivers a good cross from the left for Schurrle, whose flicked header is batted away by Handanovic. Drogba has a go himself but the Maribor keeper gets it away.

Chelsea making it hard for Maribor in the early stages. The hosts a little pinned back in the early stages here.

Handanovic clatters Drogba as he punches clear the ball. Drogba stayed down initially, but is back to his feet.

Plenty of noise being made by the home fans at the Stadion Ljudski. They'll do their best to be the proverbial 12th man tonight.

KICK OFF. Maribor get us underway in Slovenia. Chelsea one win away from qualification for the last 16 with two matches to spare.

You can find me, Michael Da Silva, on Twitter @mjdasilva - tweet me your thoughts as the game unfolds tonight. The teams are out and we're almost ready to go...

Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho: "The 6-0 win is a fake situation. Normally Chelsea to score goals needs a lot of chances. I need to convince the players that the game at Stamford Bridge was one of these matches where everything goes in our direction. I know Maribor are a good team. I analysed them against Sporting and Schalke."

Maribor coach Ante Simundza: "We have our strongest team, who I'm sure will represent Slovenian football decently against a top team like Chelsea. In London, Chelsea played superbly and were better in every department. We must make the most of our chances here."

So how do Maribor shape up tonight? Well, Maribor coach Ante Simundza has made a brave selection with his 4-4-2 formation. The teenage striker Luka Zahovic starts alongside Tavares. Agim Ibraimi will be a threat on the wing, while Aleksander Rajcevic and Arghus will be in central defense.

So the main news for Chelsea is that Jose Mourinho keeps Diego Costa on the bench and gives Didier Drogba his 100th appearance in European competition. Mourinho also elects to start with Petr Cech in goal, with Courtois dropping to the bench. Andre Schurrle starts ahead of Oscar and Zouma starts alongside Terry in the heart of the Chelsea defence.
