Hello and welcome to live coverage of Chelsea's third Champions League group match in Ukraine.

KICK-OFF: 7.45pm

• Jose Mourinho's Blues started their European campaign with a win against Maccabi Tel Aviv but followed that with a poor defeat against Portugal.

• Chelsea have had a poor start to the season but were able to beat Aston Villa at the weekend after numerous changes to the starting XI, only their third win in nine Premier League games this season.

• Eden Hazard was dropped for the win against Villa but returns to the starting XI after Pedro and Loic Remy did not travel because of injury - the Portuguese made two other changes to Saturday's team.

• Dynamo Kiev are joint top with Shakhtar Donetsk in the Ukrainian Premier League, with 28 points from 11 matches - but they did lose to their rivals 3-0 at home at the weekend.

• Kiev currently sit top of Group G after a 2-2 draw with Porto and a 2-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv.
