The Blues make the relatively short trip to Birmingham to take on Aston Villa in their
first Premier League game for more than three months on Sunday.
It will be Villa's second game back, after their controversial goalless draw against Sheffield United on Wednesday and that could play a part in how prepared the teams are for the contest.

With no games for three months, head coach Frank Lampard has no form to look at when picking his starting XI for the clash at Villa Park.
Mason Mount has had a sterling season for the Blues so far, but there is an up-and-coming youngster making headlines in the Chelsea side too - Billy Gilmour.
Cesar Azpilicueta gets the nod at left-back, with Reece James at right-back, with Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger taking up the central defensive role.
