After ending 2020 with one win from five Premier League matches, Chelsea will be looking to begin a new year with victory over Manchester City on Sunday.
The Blues' disappointing form continued with a 1-1 draw at home to Aston Villa on Monday, making it four points collected from the last 15 on offer.
Frank Lampard's men do at least have some time to rest up ahead of the visit of Man City, whose clash with Everton this week was postponed due to a coronavirus outbreak in their camp.
