Most recent H2Hs: Business as usual for Chelsea?
The first leg of this tie was the fifth meeting between these two sides, and Chelsea remain unbeaten in head to heads against Copenhagen with three wins and two draws.
In a curious quirk, though, the Blues have never beaten Thursday's opponents at Stamford Bridge, being held on both previous occasions that they have crossed swords in West London.
The most recent of those was in March 2011 when they played out a goalless draw in the Champions League, while they also drew 1-1 in a Cup Winners' Cup meeting in 1998, with Marcel Desailly on the scoresheet for the Premier League side.

Player to watch: Christopher Nkunku
Interestingly, the first leg of this tie was the only time Christopher Nkunku failed to score or register an assist in this tournament. The former Paris Saint-Germain player has five goals and three assists in six Conference League appearances this season. He will look to add to his tally on Thursday night.
