Chelsea return to action on Sunday afternoon as they make the short trip across the capital to face rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
On the back of last weekend's 1-0 defeat at home to Southampton, Graham Potter's side are left in 10th position in the standings.
However, while the Blues sit 11 points adrift of their fourth-placed opponents, they possess a game in hand, and that scenario effectively renders this showdown as their biggest fixture of the season to date.
Ahead of a highly-anticipated encounter for both clubs, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news.
