Starting with the hosts, while Chelsea might have mounted a dramatic second-half comeback away at Newcastle last weekend as they eventually left St. James' Park with a 2-2 stalemate, the Blues have shown some real inconsistencies over the past month. Getting December underway with a shock 3-1 defeat against relegation scrappers Leeds, it has been suggested that Enzo Maresca has some increasing pressure on his shoulders in west London.

He has a lot of energy out there. He is skating well and is aggressive. It is paying off for him, and he is helping our team on the penalty kill and in a lot of the situations he is put in. We can move him around on different lines at times because he provides energy and skating. He is really on top of things right now with his feet and is scoring some goals for us.

Frenkie de Jong returned to Barcelona training on Thursday morning and looks set to face Real Betis on Saturday in La Liga. The Dutchman missed the win over Atletico Madrid in midweek due to a fever but has recovered and should be in the squad for Barca's next match.
