Servette were on the end of a narrow defeat to Braga in the Europa League qualifiers to reach this stage, having finished third in Switzerland’s top flight last season while winning the Swiss Cup.
Chelsea are back after a year out of European football and they hold an impeccable record when it comes to UEFA’s lesser competitions - having won the Europa League on each of their last two appearances.
But these are very different times at Stamford Bridge and Maresca is facing off-field issues as he seeks his first victory in the dugout.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Chelsea vs Servette is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off on Thursday August 22, 2024.
The match will take place at Stamford Bridge.
