Chelsea return to action when they play Manchester United in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Thursday.
The Blues bring down the curtain on their away campaign this season with 2022/23 concluding on Sunday. Chelsea, managed until the end of the season by Frank Lampard, cannot wait to see the back of a torrid season with Mauricio Pochettino expected to replace Lampard in the summer.
The final couple of games represent chances for players to audition for a role in Pochettino's potential setup next season. Chelsea will be without Mason Mount, Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Benoit Badiashile, though, with the quartet all missing out through injury.

Joao Felix, though, is back after he missed the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday. "Mason, Reece and Chilly won't make the game, Benoit Badiashile we know is out," said Lampard.
"Joao had a small injury at the weekend and he is back involved." Badiashile is set to miss the rest of the season with a serious groin injury suffered in training last week, though he will be back in time for the start of the next campaign.
"It's a big blow for him and I am disappointed for him," Lampard said. "He has come here and impressed and the games just before he got injured I was very happy with him.
"He is going to be a good player for this club. "It is an unfortunate, complicated injury and it is months rather than weeks.
"I hope for him that the timing of it over the summer means that he won't miss games and he will come back stronger."
