Chelsea take on Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday night as the Blues look to extend their winning run and here is how you can watch all the action
Chelsea are gearing up to extend their winning streak as they prepare to take on Ajax in the Champions League. The Blues have been on a roll, clinching victory in their last three matches and are keen to rise up the Champions League table.
The current Club World Cup and Europa Conference League champions suffered a setback in their opening match against Bayern Munich, losing 3-1 in Germany last month. However, Enzo Maresca's squad managed to steer their Champions League campaign back on course against Benfica.
An early own goal from Richard Rios was enough to tip the balance in Chelsea's favour as newly-appointed Benfica boss Jose Mourinho made his return to Stamford Bridge in September. Joao Pedro was shown a late red card, with dismissals becoming a theme of Chelsea's season, but the team still managed to secure three points.
This victory was followed by morale-boosting wins over Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. Maresca will be eager to maintain this momentum against Ajax.
Ajax, under the guidance of former Everton defender John Heitinga, currently occupy fourth place in the Eredivisie and suffered defeats to Inter Milan and Marseille in their first two Champions League matches. Here, Mirror Football provides details on how to catch all the action.

What's the Chelsea team news?
Cole Palmer continues to be a significant absence for Chelsea. There were hopes that Palmer would be back in action following the recent international break, but Maresca confirmed last week that the 23-year-old is set for a longer stint on the sidelines.
Speaking about Palmer's groin injury, the Chelsea manager said: "We hope that six weeks, they are enough, but it's a problem that we need to see step by step, week after week, but for sure he's going to be okay."
Enzo Fernandez also missed the victory over Forest due to injury and it remains uncertain if he will return to face Ajax. Wesley Fofana was also missing from the squad but is expected to be available on Wednesday.
Joao Pedro will be unavailable due to his late red card in Chelsea's last Champions League match against Benfica. Meanwhile, defender Benoit Badiashile is expected to be sidelined until December with a muscle issue.
Levi Colwill and Liam Delap are also still out of action. Colwill is likely to be absent for the majority of the season with an ACL injury, while Delap could potentially make a comeback from his hamstring problem next month.
