Chelsea have already booked their place in the next round of the competition, although will no doubt be looking to keep up their dominance in the final three group games.

There will certainly be a chance though for George to make more appearances, as well as a number of other youngsters such as Marc Guiu. The Spaniard opened his account for the club last night.

Nkunku is still waiting for his Chelsea career to really kick into gear after his £52m move to the club.

He has reached double digits in all competitions this season, however is struggling to take Nicolas Jackson’s place in the side after the Senegal international’s excellent start to the campaign.
