CM: Nemanja Matic
There’ll be added incentive for the ex-Benfica man to produce a good show against his former rivals.
CM: Ramires
The Brazilian has been in fine form since penning a new contract earlier this season, and has the potential to influence proceedings through the middle.
LAM: Eden Hazard
Still yet to kick on from second gear, so he’ll be expected to prove his worth very soon.
CAM: Cesc Fabregas
Like Hazard, he’s looked a shell of his former self recently, but a goal and a good performance could see him back to his old self.
RAM: Willian
Willian is the most likely match winner Chelsea have. If they get a free kick around the box then it’s game over.
ST: Diego Costa
Mourinho’s decision to drop him from recent match day squads could prove a masterstroke if it prompts a much needed reaction.
