It's the battle of Blues vs Reds at Stamford bridge on Friday night and we look forward to a fixture that serves feisty entertainment at any time of the year.The manner of our 2:2 draw at Swansea means we will need a victory to stay with the chasing pack and get back to the summit at least before the weekend games are completed.

The blues are enjoying a much better start to this season compared to the previous campaign when we had only four points at this stage.If our record 26 shots last time out was anything to go by,the fact that we have dominated opponents in all our opening four fixtures shows that the blues are finally back.Antonio Conte's blueprints are everywhere in the team as we look forward to mounting a title challenge.

Opponents

Jurgen Klopp's men are coming into this one fresh from a 4:1 thumping of our next opponents Leicester City and will likely fancy their chances of causing an upset at Stamford Bridge.The German coach had recorded his first victory as the red's boss at our venue, a 3:1 win in the lead up to Jose Mourinho's dismissal.The blues under Guus Hiddink were however denied all three points when we visited Anfield for our penultimate game of the season by a last-gasp Benteke header after Eden Hazard had danced beautifully through a stream of red shirts to give us the lead.

We did however secure a 1:0 victory over Liverpool in the first game of our US tour this summer.Gary Cahill's header in the tenth minute was just enough to seal the victory in pre-season.
The Red's will be seeking their second straight win of the season.Wide men Phillipe Coutinho and Firmino has been in fine form since the turn of the season and will serve as real threats if their German manager sticks to the 4-3-3 set-up.

Chelsea Match Day Squad

It was confirmed on Monday that skipper John Terry will miss the game meaning their could be a second debut for David Luiz on Friday night (the Brazilian also made his first debut against the Red's).He could partner Gary Cahill at the heart of the defence with the duo quite used to playing alongside each other in his first spell. Conte will not fancy a lot of changes to the starting XI that has impressed this season but their would be no surprises if either of Marcos Alonso or Cesc Fabregas were to be on the team sheet.Attackers Eden Hazard,Willian and over-head kick boy Diego are in red-hot form and are likely to be selected having scored seven goals already among themselves.
