Rubin Kazan vs. Chelsea takes place on Thursday evening in the Europa League. The quarter-final 2nd leg sport, which takes place at Central Stadium, is planned to kick off at 17:00 BST and airs reside in great Britain on ESPN/ESPN HD. Chelsea lead 3-1 from the first leg but midfielder John Mikel Obi has admitted his focus this year is guaranteeing the Blues qualify for next season's Champions League because he struggles to have motivated for this opposition. "What do they say [about the Europa League]? Friday nights, Channel 5?" He explained earlier this week. "Hopefully, next season we are not going to stay it and we're going to be perfect time." Chelsea are currently third in the Premier League and are in a position to secure Champions League certification for next time. But Rafael Benitez's side can still win two trophies this year and experience Manchester City in the semi-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday. "Champions League baseball is what this team is definitely associated with and that is what we as participants want to achieve," said Mikel. "We desire to be in the top four, top three, whatever. We should maintain the Champions League next time. "No disrespect to the Europa League... but you hear the Champions League music, and when you get that buzz, it's different. "And we've been used to it, to those nights, those particular nights, and we want to get them back, we want to be concerned again in the Champions League next period. "I don't even know the Europa League music. I have been here eight years and football has never been never played by me on Thursday nights".
