Chelsea return to action on Friday night when they play host to Manchester United in the Premier League.
Having lost to Newcastle United at St James' Park last weekend, the Blues must win their final two top-flight fixtures to guarantee a top-five finish in the table.
While Enzo Maresca will be focused on delivering that target, Ruben Amorim takes his side to West London looking for the win that would go some way to ensuring that they do not suffer the embarrassment of ending the season in 17th place.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of playing host to the Europa League finalists in West London.
