Mauricio Pochettino does not have long until he is back in the dugout as Chelsea manager, with the Blues back in action tomorrow.
It seemed so recently that Noni Madueke was cooly dispatching a late penalty to pick up an important three points against Crystal Palace, however tomorrow poses a different threat against Luton Town.
The Hatters pose a completely different challenge now to the one that met them at Stamford Bridge back in August.
Here’s The Chelsea Chronicle’s Predicted line-up for tomorrow’s game.
Chelsea Predicted XI
Djordje Petrovic is quietly going about his business very tidily so far, and will continue in goal tomorrow.
A man of the match performance from Malo Gusto the other night will see him very clearly return to the starting side again.
After getting a partial rest in the week, Thiago Silva will be back to try and bring an element of calmness to the backline.
He will be partnered by Benoit Badiashile, who certainly looked a lot more confident when the Brazilian joined him at the back.
On the left, Levi Colwill will continue out of position, after Ian Maatsen did little to impress and will drop to the bench.
Midfield
Moises Caicedo enjoyed a strong return to the side in the week, and will start again after overcoming his illness.
Alongside him, Conor Gallagher will continue his spell of featuring from the start whenever he is available.
Just ahead of those two, Cole Palmer will return after missing the win in midweek due to suspension.
Attack
While Chelsea fans will have been hoping for Noni Madueke to start, Raheem Sterling will return on the right of attack.
The opposite wing will be occupied by the ever-improving Mykhailo Mudryk, who was back on target in the week.
Up front, Nicolas Jackson’s tough spell will see him drop to the bench, and Christopher Nkunku will start up top.
