Jose Mourinho's hopes that London rivals Tottenham would do them a favour against Manchester United were sunk without trace and they remain six points off the pace.

Every point is vital now but the return to regular action of both Petr Cech and John Terry is certainly a welcome tonic - and some firms have been releasing odds about Chelsea going unbeaten until the end of the season.

They host a much improved Boro outfit who have lost just once in eleven games in all competitions, climbing to mid-table security and taking the heat off rookie boss Gareth Southgate.

They were caught out late on by a swift counter attack from Arsenal last weekend - so had to settle for a point - but boast a good recent record against the big guns and will be optimistic of a decent display.

They can end a goal drought at Stamford Bridge stretching back to September 2001 but anything else would be a big surprise.

Verdict: Chelsea 3 Middlesbrough 1
