While the Blues secured a comfortable home win over Bournemouth last time out, the Tricky Trees were defeated at the hands of Manchester United at Old Trafford. Chelsea struggled on the road in the final few weeks before the World Cup, losing each of their last three away games and conceding seven goals in the process. Potter will now be keen to see signs of improvement on their travels as three of their next four fixtures in all competitions are away from Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are the side who possess the stronger squad and will be regarded as favourites to come away with maximum points on New Year's Day.

虽然蓝军在上次主场轻松战胜伯恩茅斯，但棘手的树木在老特拉福德被曼联击败。在世界杯前的最后几周，切尔西在客场打得很艰难，在过去的三场客场比赛中都输了，丢了7球。波特现在很希望看到他们在旅途中有所改善的迹象，因为他们接下来的四场比赛中有三场都是在斯坦福桥以外的地方。切尔西是拥有更强大阵容的球队，他们将被认为是在元旦带着最多积分离开的热门球队。
