Recent form
Liam Rosenior has won two of his first three games in charge of the Blues, against Charlton in the FA Cup and Brentford in the Premier League. The other game was a loss to Arsenal, however.
Pafos were beaten by Olympiakos Nicosia in their most recent outing, and have three wins and two losses in their last five games. They have won just one of their six Champions League games, along with three draws and two defeats.
What’s been said?
Chelsea boss Rosenior: “Your dream as a player or coach is to be at the very top of the game. The Champions League is a signal of that. It’s not about me, my focus in winning the game. Pafos is not an easy game, they can still qualify.”
