Chelsea go without a central striker as Stamford Bridge welcomes back a legend.
Jose Mourinho won three Premier League titles with Chelsea in two spells and is back in his latest incarnation as manager of Benfica.
The Blues won the Club World Cup just a few short months ago but have not started the season well and were soundly beaten by Brighton at the weekend. A few more defeats and the pressure will really ramp up on Enzo Maresca.
Jose has won the Champions League with Porto and with Inter but has won four of 14 games against Chelsea in his career.
