"After a shaky beginning, Chelsea have found their feet since the end of the September international break. The Blues are far from the finished article but there have been encouraging signs at Stamford Bridge following several years of disillusionment."
"Significant to their ascent under Maresca has been their lack of injury concerns in the opening weeks of the campaign. Chelsea's absentee list often hit double digits last year but they have been able to keep their star players fit in 2024/25 so far."
"Reece James has struggled with injuries again in 2024/25. The right-back has missed the entirety of the campaign after suffering a hamstring injury in early August while serving a suspension carried over from last term."
"If James does sit out once again this weekend, he will join his fellow defenders Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana on the sidelines as both serve one-game suspensions after accumulating five yellow cards."
