Chelsea will be aiming to win back-to-back matches under Thomas Tuchel for the first time when they pay a visit to Tottenham Hotspur for a mouthwatering London derby on Thursday evening.
The 47-year-old began his time in the Stamford Bridge dugout with a 0-0 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers, but he soon witnessed his team ease past Burnley 2-0 to rise to seventh in the table.
Two of Chelsea's forgotten men propelled the Blues to victory over Burnley on Sunday, so Tuchel has several selection dilemmas to ponder for his first away match in charge.
With that in mind, Sports Mole looks at how Chelsea could line up for the contest.

Aside from minor concerns over Hakim Ziyech, Kurt Zouma and Kai Havertz, Tuchel has the luxury of a fully-fit squad for this tantalising derby.
The German welcomed N'Golo Kante back to the substitutes bench on Sunday and has vowed to use the Frenchman in his more favoured defensive role, so a start for Kante on Sunday - potentially over Jorginho - looks likely.
Cesar Azpilicueta has forced his way back into Tuchel's rearguard and scored the opener against Burnley with a thunderous finish, so the veteran Spaniard is likely to line up alongside Thiago Silva and Antonio Rudiger as Tuchel hopes to maintain his 100% defensive record since taking charge.
Chelsea's second was scored by a certain Marcos Alonso, whose future at the club looked bleak following the arrival of Ben Chilwell, but Tuchel's selection was justified as Alonso's spectacular effort in the second 45 made sure of the win.
The Chelsea faithful will fondly look back on his brace in this fixture during the 2017-18 campaign, and it would be a surprise to see him dropped for this one, while Callum Hudson-Odoi could also be given another run-out at right wing-back over compatriot Reece James.
Tuchel has admitted that Timo Werner needs to find his shooting boots again soon, but he has also spoken highly of his fellow German and could elect to deploy the former RB Leipzig man behind the striker once more.
The introduction of Christian Pulisic at half time against Burnley also paid dividends and he could demote Mason Mount to the bench, while the physical Olivier Giroud will hope to be given the nod up top over Tammy Abraham, who was sacrificed for Pulisic on Sunday.
