Chelsea have certainly benefited from their mini break that has helped Thomas Tuchel's side recharge after a difficult festive fixture schedule that saw the Blues play the most games in all competitions out of the 'big six'.
The European champions lost vital ground in the Premier League title, picking up only three wins in their last 11 games.
They did, however, claim the three points in their latest London derby just before this break against Spurs, courtesy of goals from Hakim Ziyech and Thiago Silva respectively.
