Chelsea will be looking to close the gap on Aston Villa this weekend when they host Unai Emery's side at Stamford Bridge. A victory would not only tighten the race for the top three but could also widen the gap between the Blues and Liverpool, who currently sit level with them on 29 points.
Ahead of the high-stakes clash, Enzo Maresca has provided an update on his squad's fitness, including the status of Liam Delap and Estevao, both of whom missed the draw with Newcastle last weekend.
Following a grueling December in which the Blues played six games in just 17 days, the team has benefited from a rare week-long break ahead of their post-Christmas fixture. This interval has allowed Maresca's first-team squad - and those nursing minor knocks - crucial time to rest and recover.
With the festive schedule showing no signs of slowing down, football.london has gathered the latest Chelsea injury news and the expected return dates for those still sidelined.
