Graham Potter may be able to call upon three new players as Chelsea look to get their first win of 2023. It's a tough challenge without or without squad additions as Manchester City await on Thursday but every little helps for the man in charge currently.
Chelsea's squad looks hopelessly short of confidence and ideas with evident gaps across the pitch including defence, midfield and attack. The struggles in the league, one win in seven, have seen a jolt in action for the January transfer window with intervention seemingly required to lift the Blues up the table.
Currently sat in ninth and behind London rivals Brentford and Fulham Chelsea are off the pace in the race for the top four but are only five points off Tottenham in fifth with a game in hand. It's far from season over but fans are calling for a changing of the guard with an ageing spine.
