Chelsea head to Kazakhstan to face Astana on Thursday evening looking to extend their perfect start in the UEFA Conference League.

Enzo Maresca's side were the favourites for the competition heading into the campaign, and have barely put a foot wrong – winning four from four, while scoring 18 goals and conceding just three, to move to the top of the League Phase table.

The Blues cemented their place as Liverpool's closest competition in the Premier League title race with a 4-3 win over Tottenham on Sunday, and now turn their attention back to Europe as they bid to extend their lead at the top of the table and all but secure automatic passage to the round of 16.

Their hosts have enjoyed different fortunes in recent months.

Astana have failed to win in the Conference League since their opener against Backa Topola, sliding down to 23rd in the table as a result, while they missed out on the Kazakhstan top-tier title by just a point when the season came to an end in November.

Europe is their only focus until the 2025 domestic campaign starts again in March, which is both a blessing and a curse.

They'll be fresh, but the fact they haven't played a competitive game since 28th November could make things even tougher against a Chelsea side high in confidence.
