Chelsea initially looked out of sorts after back-to-backs wins under Xabi Alonso, who is without Joao Pedro due to an injury sustained in training on Friday. Summer signing Geovany Quenda was a shock selection to make his first Premier League start in attack, while Penders did likewise in goal amid the absence of usual first-choice No1 Emi Martinez. Both sides will hope to kick on after the break in an attempt to claim bragging rights as the rain begins to ease.
