Rubin Kazan compared to. Chelsea happens on Thursday morning in the Europa League. The quarter-final second leg sport, which occurs at Central Stadium, is scheduled to start 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 ensuring the Blues qualify for next season's Champions League because he struggles to get motivated for this competition. "What do they say [about the Europa League]? Friday times, Channel 5?" He explained earlier this week. "Hopefully, next season we are perhaps not going to stay it and we are going to be perfect time." Chelsea are currently next in the Premier League and are able to secure Champions League diploma for next period. But Rafael Benitez's side may still get two awards this season and face Manchester City in the semi-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday. "Champions League football is what this club happens to be involved with and that is what we as people wish to achieve," said Mikel. "We wish to be in the top four, top three, whatever. We should take the Champions League next season. "No disrespect to the Europa League... but the Champions League song is heard by you, and when you get that hype, it's different. "And we've been applied to it, to those nights, those particular nights, and we want to get them back, we want to be involved again in the Champions League next season. The Europa League song was not even known by "i. I've been here seven years and football has never been never played by me on Thursday nights".
