Latest information before the match Servette vs Chelsea
Chelsea will be without captain Reece James, who is still recovering from a hamstring injury. Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling are also absent from the Europa Conference League squad.
Midfield pair Romeo Lavia (hamstring) and Moises Caicedo (knockout) are both doubtful, with Caicedo having come off against Wolves. Enzo Fernandez and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are likely to start in midfield.
Maresca could make a number of changes to the starting line-up after making nine changes in the win over Wolves, with Filip Jorgensen, Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo, Pedro Neto, Marc Guiu, Felix and Nkunku among the names pushing for a recall.
For Servette, Victory Beniangba has not played this season due to a muscle injury and needs more time to recover. Enzo Crivelli or Jeremy Guillemenot could lead the attack on Thursday. Dereck Kutesa, who has scored five goals in nine games this season, is expected to continue to start on the left. Coach Haberli is unlikely to make many changes to the starting lineup, although Theo Magnin and Alexis Antunes will try to replace Keigo Tsunemoto and David Douline on the right wing and in midfield.
Latest expected lineup for Servette vs Chelsea
Servette: Frick; Tsunemoto, Rouiller, Severin, Mazikou; Douline, Ondoua; Stevanovic, Antunes, Kutesa; Crivelli

Latest football analysis Servette vs Chelsea
After a season away from Europe, Chelsea have a strong advantage in reaching the 2024-25 Europa Conference League group stage after winning 2-0 at Servette in the first leg, thanks to goals from Christopher Nkunku and Noni Madueke in the second half.
Nkunku scored a penalty, while Madueke scored a fine strike to complete his first career hat-trick in Sunday's 6-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Although Jackson and Palmer scored, goals from Cunha and Larsen added to the tension, but Chelsea cemented their victory with a hat-trick from Madueke and a goal from Joao Felix.
After their first Premier League win, manager Enzo Maresca was pleased with Chelsea's attacking display and insisted he needed more time to refine his squad. Chelsea have won their last three away games and only need a draw against Servette to progress. Servette manager Thomas Haberli lamented the missed chances and, despite the two-goal deficit, has not given up hope of turning things around in Geneva.
Servette, who won the Swiss Cup and finished third in the Swiss Super League last season, did not play in the league this weekend and have seven days to prepare for the return leg. They have been in poor form recently, losing their last two home games and winning just one of their last six in all competitions.
Servette have struggled against English sides in the past and if they don't improve their attacking options, they could struggle against Chelsea. Despite a number of changes to their line-up, Chelsea are expected to score more goals in Geneva and continue their progress in the Europa Conference League.
