Chelsea will be aiming to secure back-to-back wins for the first time under Thomas Tuchel when they lock horns with London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday evening.
The Blues began the Tuchel era with a 0-0 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers, but they swept aside Burnley 2-0 at the weekend thanks to goals from full-backs Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso.
A top-four charge is now much more likely than a title push for Chelsea, who rose to seventh in the table with that win - six points adrift of the Champions League places.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

The absence of Hakim Ziyech on Sunday raised a few eyebrows, but Tuchel revealed that the winger was left out simply because he needed a rest. As a result, Ziyech is expected to be fine for the midweek London derby.
