Chelsea take a 2-1 lead into their Europa Conference League last 16 second leg against FC Copenhagen, but they are uncertain as to how the Danish side will play against them, manager Enzo Maresca said on Wednesday.

Enzo Maresca has defended Chelsea's style of play after the Italian found himself under fire ahead of Thursday's UEFA Conference League clash with Copenhagen.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca said his team aims to score “when we need to” after supporters jeered their blunted efforts during Sunday’s narrow win over second-bottom Leicester. The 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge made for difficult watching at times with Chelsea committed rigidly to Maresca’s method of keeping the ball and slowing down the play – even when chances arose to hit one of the Premier League’s most porous defences on the break.
