In the week leading up, focus would normally be firmly on a fierce clash with Spurs, but there are other topics dominating the headlines at Stamford Bridge. After the defeat to Southampton, calls for Graham Potter to be sacked increased with the loss meaning the Blues have won just one game and scored four goals in 2023.
So, with that being said, stay with us as football.london brings you all the latest Chelsea transfer gossip, news and updates LIVE from Stamford Bridge...
Chelsea may have been handed some key injury boosts heading into the Tottenham game.
Apart from two long-term absentees, the Blues may be back to a full squad, coming a huge boost to Graham Potter.
Chelsea youngster Andrey Santos looked set for a move to Palmeiras on loan this season, but now that seems unlikely.
According to reports, the Brazilian is not making the switch as the Blues wanted him to feature in the under-20s World Cup.
There's a new manager in the Premier League... but not at Stamford Bridge.
Instead it comes down at Southampton, who have confirmed the appointment of Ruben Selles as first-team manager until the end of the season following a 1-0 win over the Blues last weekend.
Times are tough at Chelsea. If Graham Potter didn't fully realise the enormity of the task before he signed on the dotted line, he absolutely does now.
With eight defeats in the past 14 games there has been innumerable chatter about the future of the current Blues boss from fans and pundits alike, with opinions very split. Chelsea splashed out £20million to lure Potter away from Brighton and football.london understands that Todd Boehly continues to back his investment, despite the current run of form.
However, Chelsea supporters appear to disagree with their co-owner and have highlighted the man who should replace Potter at the helm.

Chelsea look set to continue with their major rebuild plans which involves signing the next generation of talent from all across the footballing world.
Malo Gusto, Carney Chukwuemeka, Andrey Santos, David Datro Fofana, Gabriel Slonina and Cesare Casadei, all under 20 when signed, have arrived at Stamford Bridge in the last few months and the latest talent for the future has been identified.
Ecuadorian wonderkid Kendry Paez, who is just 15, could become the next major signing for the future made by Chelsea.
Read the full story here
Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is still the favourite to replace Graham Potter at Chelsea, despite Todd Boehly's firm stance on a departure.
Although results have been poor, Potter's job at Stamford Bridge remains safe despite calls to sack him heightened over the weekend.
Thomas Tuchel, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte have been tipped to make sensational returns but all seem unlikely. While Zinedine Zidane is also a name that has been mentioned.
Pochettino is the supossed favourite but according to Telegraph journalist Matt Law, Pochettino has not been contacted by Chelsea about a managerial vacancy.

To those of you calling back for TT I want you to think outside the trophies he won for us which is one of the biggest achievements for us but yet we still need to think outside that. Did you forgot the only players that developed during TT time is only the defenders all the attackers flop in the team even the two strikers flop which is tt flaws. He did not know how to use players and he did not know how to do transfer. Is not sound of mount that score 10 to 12 goals all season collect the players of the season. It is unspeakable if GJ that score 7 penalties is the highest scorer of the season as big as Chelsea is. It is unspeakable if non of the two strikers can’t solve the goal problems in the team,guys is not sound when non of the attacking players we have all flop even the new ones TT brought in. This is down to the formation and the tactics he use,we just have to tell our self the truth even if it win us something we all know we are a little bit lucky to have won the trophies the point is what happen after we won the cup we go backwards instead of forwards all the players all go backwards non is playing well why don’t we ask our self that question. You all talk about bringing him back but did you forget we have been playing bad when he was there. We are not scoring and we are not winning during his end time. He was playing players out of position which is very bad for development of players imagine when vini of mardrid play at right side he was very poor but when he went back to his right position he his one of the best players in that position now if not the best. Mbappe.rashford,son,mahrez,haaland,salah etc all this people play in their best position and that is why they are best at that position not like playing odoi as 2 loftus at 2 kai as 9 pulisic at 3 or 2 sterling as 9 month as 11 or 7 this is reason why they all go backward instead of improving because it is not their position. We have more than 6 midfiel players in the team now you want tt that only play 2 midfield players how did you want them to play better. We have allot of young attacking players in the team now you want tt that can’t get the best out of any of his attackers when he was there. And to everybody blaming the owner for sacking tt please go back and read why tt was sacked because he was not sacked because his team was loosing he sacked because he did not agree with the owner and we all know the owners as the final say what if it was you what will you do ??? PT is not doing well at all but I will still say let give him this season and then we can judge because is not easy to bring in new players and they kick on immediately and his not easy to bring on the injured players and start playing well immediately too. I’m looking forward to have kante and enzo in that midfield and let see what happen if not the injury that guy is our main man.
you good at analyzing bro..every line in your statement is meaningful

4 Options and 4 options only 1. The highly unlikely return of Thomas Tuchel (unlikely because he probably wouldn't wanna come back to work for Boehly) 2. The absolute best option in giving Zidane a mega contract and giving him the time at the bridge 3.Luis Enrique is a safe option for an experienced manager who can be considered prolific 4. The emphatic return of Mou. Mourinho would care about Chelsea more than any of these options
Mou is totally out of the lot. The philosophy of mou is not in tune with that of the owners. These new owners are planning big for the future. that is why they're bringing in young players.

4 Options and 4 options only 1. The highly unlikely return of Thomas Tuchel (unlikely because he probably wouldn't wanna come back to work for Boehly) 2. The absolute best option in giving Zidane a mega contract and giving him the time at the bridge 3.Luis Enrique is a safe option for an experienced manager who can be considered prolific 4. The emphatic return of Mou. Mourinho would care about Chelsea more than any of these options
Non of the above in potter we trust
