Chelsea are preparing for a Premier League clash with Leeds United this weekend, their first fixture in front of home supporters since March.
The Blues continued their impressive form with a 4-0 away win over Sevilla on Wednesday, Olivier Giroud making his case to Frank Lampard by scoring all four goals.
The Frenchman will be hoping that performance is enough to get him a start against Leeds, who have enjoyed a very respectable start to their first season back in the top flight.
Leeds are currently 12th in the Premier League table after claiming an impressive win over Everton last time out, Raphinha scoring the all-important winner at Goodison Park.
Marcelo Bielsa's men will be looking to continue their own good form at Stamford Bridge, but they won't be helped by a number of injuries.
Bielsa is likely to be without Diego Llorente, who is still awaiting his Leeds debut. The defender is fit to play but his boss has put him on under-23s duty in order to improve his match fitness.
Adam Forshaw, Jamie Shackleton and Pablo Hernandez are all likely to follow the same process following injuries of their own, Bielsa saying in his press conference: "When a player goes so long without playing, one of the ways to help his recovery is to propose an activity similar to games in the Premier League.
"Knowing that you can manage his game time and the level is a little bit lower. This is the ideal process, especially when players have repeated muscular injuries. Which is the case of Shackleton, Pablo and Llorente."
Meanwhile, Jack Harrison is expected to shake off a minor leg injury to start again having started Leeds' last outing, the win over Everton.
