Thomas Tuchel took the Blues through our paces at Cobham once again this morning as he looks ahead to trying to maintain his 100 per cent record against Crystal Palace at the weekend.

He has had a positive boost ahead of the trip to south London, too, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek returning to Chelsea training this week after three weeks out of action with an injury.

The midfielder was absent for the FA Cup tie against Plymouth earlier in the month and did not travel with the squad to Abu Dhabi for the Club World Cup.

Chelsea are looking to record a ninth successive league win against Crystal Palace for the first time.
