Joao Felix is set to make just his second Chelsea appearance as he returns to the fold having missed three games with suspension. His debut against Fulham was cut short before the hour mark following a straight red card.
Up to that point Felix had been the spark for Graham Potter's side, who have only scored once in the time since he was sent off, three and a half game ago. The 23-year-old's impact shows his personal quality as much as it highlights the attacking issues at Stamford Bridge but the excitement upon his return demonstrates his importance nonetheless.
Since Felix's loan was confirmed in January the Blues have added Noni Madueke, Mykhailo Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez. Plenty has changed since that toxic night at Craven Cottage and there is cautious optimism that the clouds have parted over SW6.
