After their humbling loss to London rivals Arsenal at the weekend, Chelsea will be looking to bounce back when they travel to take on Hull City on Saturday.
Antonio Conte's men have lost their last two Premier League games, to the Gunners and Liverpool, which has left the Blues sitting in eighth place in the top-flight standings, and left the Italian coach facing an early test of his managerial abilities.
A trip to Hull comes at a good time for Chelsea, then, with the Tigers having been thrashed 5-1 by Liverpool last weekend, and having only won one game at home this season - although that victory came against the champions Leicester.
TEAM NEWS
Conte is expected to welcome captain John Terry back from an ankle injury, which could mean Gary Cahill dropping to the bench following his mistake for Arsenal's first goal on Saturday.
Chelsea's Terry to return vs Hull as Conte considers three at the back. Kurt Zouma continues his recovery from knee ligament damage, and could be back in action as early as next month.
Hull caretaker boss Mike Phelan, meanwhile, will be without the services of Michael Dawson, Moses Odubajo, Allan McGregor, Alex Bruce, Greg Luer and Brian Lenihan all of who are injured.
