Chelsea will welcome Manchester City tlto Stamford Bridge for Today’s Premier League battle.
Chelsea’s are facing injury concern as the team medical continue to work overtime on long-term absentees N’Golo Kante and Armando Broja –
who have since been joined by Reece James and his latest knee problem, which could rule him out for up to a month.
Wesley Fofana is unlikely to make the cut here either, but there is optimism over Ruben Loftus-Cheek – who has now returned to training from
a calf injury – and Ben Chilwell, although the latter may have to wait until the trip to Fulham next week.

Edouard Mendy, meanwhile, is still absent with his shoulder issue.
19-year-old midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka returned from a hamstring injury to make a substitute appearance against Nottingham Forest,
while new £8.6million signing David Datro Fofana will not be thrown straight into first-team action.
With his options still diminished, Graham Potter could switch to the same back-three approach used against the champions in November,
albeit one which failed to prevent defeat in the Carabao Cup.
It would see Trevoh Chalobah reintroduced in the back line but a team largely similar to the one which failed to beat Forest on Sunday.
Chelsea Possible Lineup (3-4-3):
Kepa;
Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Koulibaly;
Azpilicueta, Kovacic, Jorginho, Cucurella;
Pulisic, Havertz, Mount.
