Our prediction: Chelsea v Chesterfield
Chelsea have wobbled lately. They have their injury problems, a defensive crisis and players on their way to the Africa Cup of Nations. But they still have enough quality here.
The likes of Timo Werner, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ross Barkley are all likely to feature here and they can be trusted to get the job done in a professional manner without leaving third gear.
Our prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Chesterfield (15/2 at bet365)
