Chelsea return for Premier League action on Tuesday as Premier League football returns to Stamford Bridge. The Blues had a rotton run before breaking up for international action, losing four of their last five, and face an uphill battle to finish in the top four.
The gap to the top four before kick off at SW6 is nine points to Tottenham but that can reduced to just three if both games in hand are won by Graham Potter's men. The World Cup has allowed players and fans to reset away from the consistent cauldron of pressure but that will now be cranked up once again.
Dealing with this won't be easy for Potter. He has already had to bypass multiple major injuries during his time and will be without several first team stars for the fixture, though returning World Cup members will be back to bolster the squad.
