Chelsea also remained without N’Golo Kante, Edward Mendy, Rhys James, Wesley Fofana and Armando Bruja, as the total number of players who participated in the West London derby match reached 10 players.

James is back running on the grass and Kante is doing individual exercises but they are not expected to return this week without setting a specific time frame for each of them to recover.

However, Aubameyang is back from a back injury that sidelined him in the 4-0 FA Cup third round defeat by Manchester City on Sunday.

The Blues have picked an experienced side this evening after winning just one of their last eight Premier League matches. The Blues are in 10th place, 10 points behind the top four places to qualify for the Champions League and three points behind their West London rivals in the Premier League table.

Chelsea XI predicted (4-3-3): Cape; Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Coulibaly, Chaluba; Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount; Hall, Felix, Havertz.
