    Chelsea set to face Braga or Servette in Europa Conference League play-offs

    Chelsea’s opponents in the Europa Conference League play-offs have been determined.

    The Blues will compete against the loser of the match between SC Braga and Servette FC for a spot in the competition.

    This was confirmed on Monday following a draw.

    The first leg is scheduled for Thursday, August 22, with the return leg a week later.

    Chelsea finished sixth in the Premier League last season. They had been on track to participate in the Europa League, but Manchester United’s victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final relegated the Blues to the Conference League tournament instead.

    Europa: Iheanacho shines as Leicester thrash Braga

    Kelechi Iheanacho scored twice as Leicester City secured a comfortable 4-0 win over Braga on Thursday.

    The Nigerian scored on either side of half-time and almost completed his hat-trick, only to be denied by Braga goalkeeper Matheus.

    Iheanacho then turned provider when his square pass found Dennis Praet to score from close range.

    James Maddison, who set up Iheanacho’s first goal, made it four for the hosts with a brilliant solo goal.

    The Foxes have an 100% record after three matches and sit top of Group D.

    Brendan Rodgers’ side next face Wolves on Sunday ahead of next week’s international break.
