Chelsea's Premier League campaign has been awful through five games, but there is reason for optimism because the reigning English champions still are one of the top contenders for Europe's most prestigious club competition.

Chelsea last won this competition in 2011-12, and even though manager Jose Mourino has won this tournament three times, he's never won it in five seasons with the Blues.

Here's how to watch Chelsea-Maccabi Tel Aviv.

When: Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 2:45 p.m.
TV: Regional FOX Sports networks
Live stream: FOX Soccer 2 Go
