Tottenham Hotspur host Queens Park Rangers at White Hart Lane on Sunday looking for consecutive wins in the Premier League under Andre Villas-Boas.
The Portuguese recorded his first victory as Spurs boss against Reading last weekend and will be hoping his side can build on that success.
Brad Friedel is likely to return in goal despite new signing Hugo Lloris keeping a clean sheet on his debut against Lazio in midweek.
Kyle Naughton suffered a foot injury during that Europa League tie, but is expected to be fit and continue to deputise for the absent Benoit Assou-Ekotto at left-back.
Villas-Boas will choose between Gylfi Sigurdsson and Clint Dempsey to play behind lone striker Jermain Defoe, while Emmanuel Adebayor should return to take his place on the bench.
Rangers became the first side to take points off Chelsea this season when they held the Blues to a 0-0 draw in their high-profile clash last Saturday.
Mark Hughes will be forced into changes however, with Andrew Johnson facing a lengthy layoff with a cruciate knee ligament injury.
Manchester United loanee Fabio and Anton Ferdinand will also miss the match with hamstring strains, so Armand Traore and Nedum Onuoha are poised for starts.
Current form:
Spurs: DWDDL
QPR: DLWDL
Possible lineups:
Spurs: Friedel; Walker, Gallas, Vertonghen, Naughton; Sandro, Dembele; Bale, Sigurdsson, Lennon; Defoe
QPR: Cesar; Bosingwa, Nelsen, Onuoha, Traore; Wright-Phillips, Granero, Faurlin, Park; Zamora, Cisse
Sports Mole says: 2-1
