Chelsea are tipped to make a number of changes to their side, with Fabregas and Ivanovic expected to be dropped to the bench.

Diego Costa has also been struggling for form, but he should keep his place up front with Radamel Falcao ruled out.

The Blues are still without goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, but Oscar is back in contention after recovering from a knee injury.

Meanwhile, the visitors are unable to call on the services of Eliazer Dasa, who was sent off for previous club Beitar Jerusalem in the Europa League earlier this summer.

Eden Ben Basat should lead the attack for Maccabi, with captain Zahavi expected to provide their main goal threat after scoring seven goals in his past 10 outings.

Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Begovic, Azpilicueta, Terry, Cahill, Rahman, Matic, Ramires, Hazard, Oscar, Pedro, Costa

Maccabi Tel Aviv possible starting lineup:
Rajkovic, Ziv, Tibi, Garcia, Haim, Shpungin, Alberman, Mitrovic, Rikan, Zahavi, Basat
