Sunday’s London derby at Stamford Bridge has Chelsea play hosts to the table toppers Arsenal in a high-billed Premier League clash.
The Blues humbled Dinamo Zagreb in their Champions League outing earlier in the week but were dealt a major injury blow as Ben Chilwell limped off the pitch in the later stages with what is expected to be long-term injury trouble.
Arsenal, meanwhile, ensured a narrow win over FC Zurich and look brilliant as ever in their domestic displays this season with a two-point lead at the summit.
