Hello and welcome to live coverage of Chelsea's trip to Israel to face Maccabi Tel Aviv.

The Blues are currently second in Group G with seven points from their four matches so far, trailing leaders Porto.

Maccabi, managed by former Chelsea midfielder Slavisa Jokanovic, are bottom of the group, without a point.

• This is only the second time the two clubs have met, Chelsea won the first fixture 4-0 in September

• Thibaut Courtois and Radamel Falcao are the only injury concerns for Jose Mourinho, who travelled with a full squad to Israel

• Chelsea have been poor away from Stamford Bridge in Europe since Mourinho returned - the Blues have won just two of their last 10 away matches

• They have five draws and three defeats in those games

• Maccabi have the join- worst goal record in the competition this season, scoring just once and conceding 11 in their four matches

Chelsea team: Begovic, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Terry, Baba Rahman, Fabregas, Matic, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Diego Costa
