Chelsea are looking to win all six Europa League group games TEAM NEWS
Chelsea have confirmed they will play a weakened team for their final Europa League group game against MOL Vidi.
Maurizio Sarri's side have already won Group L with five wins from five and clinched a place in the last 32.
First-team regulars Kepa Arrizabalaga, Antonio Rudiger, Eden Hazard, Cesar Azpilicueta and N'Golo Kante have not travelled to Budapest.
Sarri says teenager Ethan Ampadu is likely to play, with centre-back Gary Cahill injured.
'Chelsea's B team could still win leagues'
MOL Vidi can still qualify for the last 32, but they would need to better Bate Borisov's result at PAOK Salonika at the same time.
Boss Marko Nikolic said: "Back in September nobody thought that this game would have any importance going into the final match. We have represented Hungarian football well in Europe.
"We come up against the most difficult opponents, Chelsea. My players have shown previously that they can come up with wonders and now they have the chance to do the same against the Londoners.
"I feel that a point would be something great. Their so-called 'B' team would be champions in several leagues around the world. If they do not bring Hazard or Pedro or even Kante, then Fabregas would play. If Giroud does not play, they have Morata and so on."
