Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel's has spoken a lot about how Chelsea have not reached their full potential so far this season but will be hoping for a strong performance as they welcome Swedish champions Malmo.
The Blues are the heavy favourites 1/12 with Grosvenor Sport while the visitors are a long shot at 33/1 and a draw is 10/1.
The Inside Track 's Tom Phillips is backing Romelu Lukaku to set the tone in this Champions League tie and tips Chelsea to breeze past the Swedish side.
Tuchel and his side would have been frustrated coming back with just a 1-0 win, a mixture of Brentford having more efforts at goal and their goalkeeper David Raya having a fantastic day between the sticks could have seen that match go completely differently.
However, after a three-match winless streak in all competitions, the European champions have now picked up back-to-back wins in the Premier League and now need to translate that form onto the continental stage.
Only three points from a possible six after losing to Juventus in their second group stage match plus zero goal difference is not exactly the form you want when you are defending your title as Champions League winners.
But this could be the perfect match with many punters wondering how many Chelsea will win by rather than who will win.

Team stats
Chelsea have picked up six clean sheets this season and average 0.45 goals conceded per game.
However, they have conceded at one goal in four out of their last five matches in all competitions and are yet to concede two or more goals in a single match this season.
Player to watch
Romelu Lukaku is still Chelsea's main man up top after picking up four goals in 10 appearances in all competitions and will be looking to improve on that statistics when he goes out at Stamford Bridge.
There has been a lot of talk about Mason Mount getting a new contract to make him one of the squad's highest earners so this will be a great opportunity to showcase why he is worth the massive pay rise. He is 2/1 to provide an assist.
H2H
Chelsea have a 100% record against Malmo after meeting the Swedish side in the 2019 Europa League Round of 32 knockout stages.
