Chelsea travel to Sunderland on Saturday as both sides look to halt their respective poor form.
Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill admitted earlier this week that his side were in a relegation battle after losing four of their last six Premier League matches.
O'Neill could be without top scorer Steven Fletcher after the Scot suffered an ankle injury in Sunderland's 2-1 defeat at Norwich City last weekend.
Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez has insisted that he will continue to rotate his squad during Chelsea's hectic fixture schedule.
Oscar could return to the side after starting the last two games on the bench while Cesar Azpilicueta could be recalled to the side in place of Branislav Ivanovic.
