After finishing top of the League Phase, Chelsea have been rewarded with a tie against Copenhagen, who had to overcome Heidenheim in the play-offs to set up a tie with the Premier League outfit.

Chelsea will have Cole Palmer available for the knockout stages after he was omitted from the League Phase due to fitness and workload management.

After having the weekend off due to being out of the FA Cup, Chelsea have been given plenty of time to prepare for the trip to Denmark, where they will hope to bring an advantage back to Stamford Bridge for the 2nd leg on March 13.

Here are all of the details ahead of the Conference League fixture between Copenhagen and Chelsea.
