Chelsea will be looking to keep their unbeaten run intact when they take on Tottenham Hotspur this weekend in the Premier League.
Up until now, it was Mauricio Pochettino who had been sweating before the game given the number of injuries that he has before the game.
Pochettino has a number of injury scares before the game meaning the Spurs manage might have to field some youngsters in key positions in the first eleven come Saturday.
On the other hand, the Blues have a totally fit squad with almost every player fully ready for the high profile clash.
The only issue that Maurizio Sarri might have is with midfielder Matteo Kovacic who is currently recovering from a muscular injury. There is a big possibility that the player might be declared fit before Saturday but the Chelsea boss is likely to start with Ross Barkley.
Apart from that all the players are fully fit – or are they?
The one problem that Chelsea might face during the game is the fatigue of Eden Hazard.
Some pundits are of the view that Eden Hazard has been overworked during the current international break the effect of which might directly fall on his performance against Spurs in the Premier League.
While on national duty Eden Hazard played all-but 15 minutes for Belgium as the European giants took on Iceland and Switzerland.
And many feel that this overworking from the forward might be visible this weekend against the Lilywhites.
Even Maurizio Sarri knows that his premier frontman need a much-deserved rest but there is no way that the Chelsea boss will try and rest Eden Hazard against Spurs.
A win for Chelsea will mean they will maintain their push for the Premier League title but if Spurs manage to pick up a win then Mauricio Pochettino’s men will leapfrog over the Blues and grab that third spot on the table.
