2019/20 UEFA Champions League
Group stage, Matchday 3
22-23 October
Ajax and Chelsea will cross swords in a UEFA Champions League Group H clash at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam on Wednesday 23 October 2019, kick-off at 19:55. The match is one of 16 Matchday 3 fixtures in the group stage of the competition, spread across 22-23 October.
Ajax have enjoyed a perfect start to their Champions League group stage campaign, with a 3-0 home win over French club Lille followed by a 3-0 away win in Spain over Valencia. The Dutch giants have underlined why they were semifinalists last season and look well on course to qualify for the knockout phase this time around.

Chelsea, by contrast, have had a mixed start on their return to the Champions League. The Blues opened with a disappointing home defeat against Valencia, but rallied earlier this month to defeat French club Lille 2-1 away, thanks to goals from Tammy Abraham and Willian.
In head-to-head stats, this will be the first European club meeting of Ajax and Chelsea. Their clash of styles and the managerial battle of wits between Erik ten Hag and Frank Lampard makes this one of the most compelling games in midweek UEFA action.
