Legia Warsaw and Chelsea have announced their starting lineups for the first leg of their Conference League quarter-final.

With Chelsea bidding to finish in the top five of the Premier League table as well as win this competition, Enzo Maresca could have gone several different ways with his team selection.

However, the Italian has decided to select a much-changed team for the game in Poland, leaving Nicolas Jackson on the substitutes' bench.

Levi Colwill, Marc Cucurella, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Pedro Neto are other players who would have been named in the first XI had Maresca gone with his strongest side.

Instead, teenagers Josh Acheampong and Tyrique George have been handed another start in this tournament, while Christopher Nkunku leads the line despite being ineffective versus Brentford on Sunday.

While Cole Palmer gets the nod in the number 10 role, Reece James and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are selected in deeper engine-room positions.

Vinagre features for Legia Warsaw

Meanwhile, Legia Warsaw head coach Goncalo Feio has selected much of the team that began the win over Gornik Zabrze last time out.

Brazilian winger Luquinhas netted twice in that fixture and will be looking to add to his fourth goals from seven games in this competition.

Former Wolverhampton Wanderers left-back Ruben Vinagre is also named in the team, the Portuguese having been a key figure for Legia Warsaw this term making 40 appearances.

Legia Warsaw XI: Tobiasz; Kapuadi, Oyedele, Augustyniak, Chodyna, Pankov, Wszolek, Vinagre, Elitim, Morishita, Luquinhas

Subs: Mendes, Kovacevic, Goncalves, Pekhart, Bichakhchyan, Kun, Barcia, Mozie, Olewinski, Szczepaniak

Chelsea XI: Jorgensen; Gusto, Tosin, Badiashile, Acheampong; James, Dewsbury-Hall; Sancho, Palmer, George; Nkunku

Subs: Sanchez, Cucurella, Colwill, Neto, Fernandez, Madueke, Jackson, Chalobah, Caicedo, Amougou, Rak-Sakyi, Mheuka body check tags ::
