Vidi vs Chelsea LIVE – Europa League latest score, goals, plus how to watch on TV and stream online
Follow live coverage of Chelsea's Europa League clash in Hungary
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri admitted tonight’s Europa League clash against Vidi has been a “difficult match to prepare for” because the Blues have nothing on the line in Hungary.
Chelsea have won all of their five Group L matches so first-team regulars Eden Hazard, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Antonio Rudiger, Cesar Azpilicueta and N’Golo Kante have not travelled with the squad.
Sarri boasted about his plans to play “2000-born” players in tonight’s match, but there will be a competitive edge given Vidi need to better BATE Borisov’s result against PAOK to qualify for the next round. Follow the live action below:
When is it?
Vidi vs Chelsea kicks-off at 5:55pm GMT at MOL Arena Sosto.
Where to watch?
BT Sport will be showing live coverage on BT Sport 2 from 5:30pm. BT customers can live stream the match online on the BT Sport app and website.

Arsenal 0-0 Qarabag

First bit of defending for the visitors. Willock drives forward from midfield and wins a free kick. Ozil swings it in but it's headed away.

'Flat' would be a kind way of describing the atmosphere. Pre-season friendlies tend to generate more enthusiasm than this.

Da Silva is forced into a save as Saka cuts inside and curls a shot towards the far corner. A first glimpse of what the teenager brings to this team.

Ozil turns on the style, beating a man and then flicking the ball back to a teammate. Saka then bursts forward and draws a foul. Chances have been at a premium so far.
GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Qarabag (Lacazette)

Lacazette opens the scoring. Ozil plays the ball into the Frenchman, who moves away from his marker and drills the ball low past Da Silva. There could be a few more goals in this for Arsenal.

Crucial last ditch defending by Sokratis. Medvedev finds himself yards out from goal but the Greek defender gets across with a sliding tackle.

Arsenal take a corner quickly and the ball makes its way out to Elneny. He decides to shoot from 40 yards out. Predictably, it's nowhere near finding the net.

Arsenal are very comfortable here. Other than a couple of scares, Qarabag haven't threatened, and it feels like the hosts don't need to move out of first gear. It isn't making for a great spectacle.
