Chelsea v Malmo: Plucky Swedes looking to take advantage of Blues crisis in Europa League, says manager Uwe Rosler
Malmo boss Uwe Rosler is hoping to cash in on Chelsea’s cup dilemma when they head to Stamford Bridge for Thursday nights Europa League last 32 clash.The Blues lead the tie after their first leg victory in Sweden, but their 2-1 win means it is far from over for the visitors who will look to claim a shock result in London.And they will be surely be boosted by the pressure on manager Maurizio Sarri ahead of a crucial run of games, which could save his job or signal the end of his brief spell at the Bridge.Maurizio Sarri is under the cosh at Chelsea2

Sarri is very likely to have one eye on Sundays EFL Cup final against Manchester City where a win, avenging their 6-0 defeat earlier this month, would arguably end the calls for his departure.But the Europa League is important to the club too. If Chelsea miss out on a top four place they currently sit sixth in the Premier League the European competition is the only other way they can quality for the Champions League next season.So the Blues may well be torn over what to focus on, and should Sarri rest his top stars on Thursday night it can only be good news for Rosler and his underdogs. Speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, the former Brentford, Wigan and Leeds manager said: Chelsea showed us a lot of respect in Sweden. I think Sarri wanted to kill the game off in the first leg.He put out a very strong team from the start and in the second-half theyre leading 2-0 and they brought on Eden Hazard and NGolo Kante.But we got our goal, which was crucial for us to keep the tie open.But now Sarri is a little bit in limbo. He has a cup final on Sunday and he needs to win titles, so what will he do with us?Itll be interesting to see his starting XI.Malmo are hoping to claim a shock victory at Stamford Bridge2

Malmo will also be boosted by a sold-out away crowd at the Bridge, and Rosler says there will be a party atmosphere in the stands from travelling supporters.For us, its the first time our club is out of the group stages in a European cup competition, so its party time!We sold all our tickets, 3,500 people are coming from south Sweden and it will be party time in west London.
