The unpredictable results in the midweek fixtures has left Chelsea with a nine-point lead on closest rivals Tottenham and Arsenal.
On Saturday, the Blues will have the chance to extend their lead on the latter to 12 points and move another step closer to winning the Premier League title.
In the closing days of the transfer window, there were plenty of rumours about incomings and outgoings at Chelsea but, despite that speculation, very little has changed in terms of personnel to select. Veteran Branislav Ivanovic, who was out-of-favour under Antonio Conte, joined Russian side Zenit St Petersburg but there were no arrivals.
For Conte, consistency in the starting line-up this season has been key. Without the fatigue of European football, the Italian has been able to replicate the method that brought success to Claudio Ranieri and Leicester City last season in fielding the same eleven players each week.
Will Conte make any changes from the 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield? Here’s who we think will be on the teamsheet on Saturday.
