Chelsea can start on the front foot when they play their last 16 first leg clash at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues will be keen to gain an advantage before a long trip to Ukraine next week and Maurizio Sarri's side have bounced back well since their Carabao Cup final defeat to Man City on penalties, winning back-to-back games in the Premier League against London rivals Tottenham and Fulham.
The Blues have been victorious in 10 of their last 11 Europa League matches, but they come up against a Kiev side unbeaten on the road in this competition. It is crunch time, though, and although Sarri has complained about having to play Wolves in the Premier League just 62 hours later, even his rotated squad has the quality to get past Kiev over two legs.
They have started well in this competition so far this season, scoring inside half an hour in five matches and the 29/20 price on them to be ahead after 30 minutes makes it worth a small play.
One nice price to score anytime at 11/4 is Willian, who could be pivotal in a front three with Eden Hazard rested. The Brazilian has two goals and five assists in the competition this term, averaging over two shots per game. It is worth waiting to see if he starts, but at nearly 3/1 he is a good shout for the score sheet.
Barring their home outing against Malmo in the last round, the Blues have taken seven or more corners, entering double figures on four occasions, and it is well worth looking at overs in the corner market, but we are hoping for a quick start for them here.
These teams are dangerous. They still have a reputation in Europe to protect, it might not be the most glamorous reputation but they still come and try to prove a point. And some of the players want to put in a performance so Chelsea might buy them!
Chelsea aren't playing well, but they got a win at the weekend, they're still unpredictable. Maurizio Sarri has to keep playing Eden Hazard but he's been dropping him. I think Chelsea will go all-in, full strength and try to get a decent lead - and I think that's what'll happen.
