Where to watch Chelsea vs Ajax tonight – on TV and online

Where to watch Chelsea vs Ajax tonight – on TV or via a live stream

When these two teams faced off back in October, in their third Champions League Group H match, only Michy Batshuayi’s 86th minute goal separated them. Now Ajax are coming to Stamford Bridge, looking to avenge that defeat. Here’s how you can watch and live stream Chelsea vs Ajax tonight.

Another tense moment in the reverse fixture saw an Ajax goal ruled out by VAR in the first half. Ajax fans and players were aggrieved following what was a marginal offside call. Chelsea’s midfield powerhouse, N’Golo Kante, will return for this fixture, and that will doubtless give the Blues a big boost.

Chelsea and Ajax both currently have six points in Group H, with Valencia below them on four, and Lille bottom with a single point.

Chelsea vs Ajax − Match preview

Chelsea have a 100% win record against Dutch opponents in the Champions League. Though that stat only spans three games, Frank Lampard’s young Chelsea side will be hoping that it’s a record they can extend.

They beat struggling Watford 2-1 at the weekend but suffered a 2-1 loss of their own last Wednesday against Manchester United, with Marcus Rashford scoring twice.

Ajax are flying high in the Dutch Eredivisie at the minute. They beat PEC Zwolle 4-2 away from home on Friday and sit top of the table, six points clear of AZ Alkmaar.

Chelsea’s league form makes a home victory seem likely, but it would be unwise to write Ajax off, especially after their Champions League heroics last year.
