"Pascal Struijk will definitely miss this game; he has problems with his hip flexor. [Anton] Stach will be back, probably just for the [Aston] Villa game. Apart from this, I hope to have everyone available. You miss a player with red-hot form. Pascal was a rock in the last weeks. He is the only left-footed centre-back. If you play with three at the back, it makes a difference. A right-footed player has different passing angles."
"Chelsea, meanwhile, are flying high under new head coach Liam Rosenior, having won all four of their Premier League matches under him so far. They are up to fifth after that run, just one point off the top four after their resounding 3-1 win over Wolves on Saturday, with Cole Palmer scoring a first-half hat-trick. He became the first player in Premier League history to score three hat-tricks in the first half of a match (also vs Everton and Brighton)."
Leeds United beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 with Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring his tenth goal, moving the club six points clear of the relegation zone. Dominic Calvert-Lewin was struggling with illness but is hoped to be fit for the upcoming match. Pascal Struijk will miss the next game due to hip flexor problems, removing the only left-footed centre-back and a strong aerial presence; Anton Stach is expected back only for the Villa game. Chelsea have won four Premier League matches under Liam Rosenior, sit fifth, and Cole Palmer scored a first-half hat-trick in the 3-1 win over Wolves.
