CHELSEA welcome Lille to Stamford Bridge, knowing victory will be enough to reach the Champions League knockout stages.
With Ajax leading Group H, the Blues sit level on seven points with Valencia – but are behind them in third due to a worse head-to-head record.
While a win will guarantee them a place in the next round, a draw would only be enough for Chelsea if the Dutch side beat their Spanish opponents.
If Frank Lampard’s side do fail to progress to the next round, they will drop down to the Europa League, where Arsenal, Manchester United and Wolves are currently competing in.
What time does Chelsea vs Lille kick off?
This Champions League encounter will take place on Tuesday, December 10.
It will kick off at 8pm.
The match will be held at Stamford Bridge.
