SSC Napoli vs Chelsea kick-off time

Champions League - Champions League

Diego Armando Maradona

Today's game between Napoli and Chelsea will kick off at 15:00 EST and 20:00 GMT. 

Match preview

Antonio Conte knows that his 25th-placed Napoli side needs maximum points to avoid elimination from the competition, while Chelsea will likely need to beat their old boss to finish inside the top eight to seal an automatic passage into the last 16.

Napoli lost 3-0 to Juventus at the weekend, a result that leaves the defending Serie A champions nine points adrift of leaders Inter.

Chelsea are finding their feet under new boss Liam Rosenior, winning four of five matches since Enzo Maresca's departure.

Injury news, suspensions, key stats

Napoli have collected seven points from a possible nine at the Maradona during the league phase, while they have secured eight victories from 11 matches in Europe against English teams, losing only twice in those games.

Former Chelsea star Romelu Lukaku returned at the weekend after missing out since August, but the Napoli man will likely start from the bench, with Rasmus Hojlund leading the line.

Kevin De Bruyne and Frank Anguissa head the club’s list of injured players, which includes Billy Gilmour, Matteo Politano, David Neres, and Amir Rrahmani. New signing Giovane is ineligible.

Joao Pedro has scored eight Premier League goals but only one in Europe, where Estevao (three) and Moises Caicedo (two) are the Blues’ leading scorers.

Levi Colwill, Tosin Adarabioyo and Romeo Lavia are all out, while Cole Palmer could start on the bench.

>How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
