Chelsea will be looking to end their four-game winless run when they welcome managerless Southampton to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Saturday.
After drawing three consecutive top-flight fixtures against Liverpool, Fulham and West Ham United, the Blues suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday.
Graham Potter's side, who have won only three of their last 16 games across all competitions, will be hoping to turn their fortunes around against another struggling side in the form of Southampton, who sit rock bottom of the Premier League and are without a manager after sacking Nathan Jones last weekend.
Ahead of this must-win contest for both teams, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news.
