Bayern Munich are therefore the likely opponents in the last-16 for Enzo Maresca’s side, but Chelsea still have work to do to set up that heavyweight encounter.
A draw tonight against Esperance would be enough to secure second place in the group, though a more impressive performance and result is required to get the campaign back on track.
Tunisian club Esperance edged past LAFC in their second group match to keep their hopes of upsetting the odds and progressing alive.
