Chelsea hosts Hull City on Saturday as the Premier League returns to action at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues sit fourth in the table with six points and are coming off a wild 6-3 comeback win over Leeds in the Carabao Cup in midweek.
Xabi Alonso's first Premier League campaign opened with wins over Fulham and Brighton. A 2-1 loss at Arsenal in the London derby last weekend halted the run.

The visitors arrive as the surprise package of the opening weeks, climbing to third with seven points and having yet to concede a league goal.
Back in the top flight after a decade away, Hull rewarded coach Sergej Jakirović with a new two-year contract this month. A midweek loss at Sunderland in the Carabao Cup was their first
defeat of the season.
