How to watch Chelsea vs Pafos

When is the match? Chelsea return to European action tonight (Wednesday, January 21) for a crucial Champions League league-phase encounter with Pafos FC under the lights at Stamford Bridge. Kick-off in West London is scheduled for 8pm GMT.
What TV channel is it on? Fans in the UK can catch all the drama live on TNT Sports 3. Coverage will feature pre-match analysis and post-match reaction to what is a must-win game for the hosts.
How can I live stream the game? You can stream the match live via the discovery+ app on your mobile, tablet, or laptop. The app offers a seamless viewing experience for subscribers, ensuring you don’t miss a minute of Liam Rosenior‘s Champions League debut.
Where can I watch the highlights? In case you miss the live action, the BBC’s Champions League highlights show will air later on Wednesday night to recap all the goals. Shorter highlights and key moments will also be uploaded to the TNT Sports YouTube channel shortly after the final whistle.
What is Chelsea’s form in the competition? The Blues currently sit outside the automatic qualification spots following a mixed run that included a 2-1 defeat to Atalanta in their last European outing. However, their home record remains formidable, having already beaten the likes of Barcelona and Ajax at Stamford Bridge this season.
How have Pafos been performing? The Cypriot side have been the tournament’s underdogs, remarkably taking points off the likes of Villarreal and Monaco to stay in playoff contention. Despite their heroics, they have struggled on the road and are yet to find the back of the net in a Champions League away fixture.
Is there any Chelsea team news? Chelsea’s recent win over Brentford came at a cost as centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo was withdrawn just before the hour mark with a hamstring issue, though Rosenior’s substitution was more precautionary. The Blues boss is also waiting to learn whether Estevao Willian (illness), Jamie Gittens (illness) and Malo Gusto (knock) will be fit for the contest. Mykhaylo Mudryk (doping ban), Romeo Lavia (thigh) and Levi Colwill (knee) are confirmed absentees.
What is the latest on the Pafos squad? A sentimental return for former Chelsea hero David Luiz is in jeopardy after the veteran defender limped off during a domestic defeat last weekend. The visitors are facing an injury crisis at the back, which could leave them down to the bare bones against a lethal Chelsea attack.
