Chelsea are looking to recover from their surprise defeat at West Ham when they visit Huddersfield Town on Tuesday.
Antonio Conte admitted his side's hopes of holding onto the Premier League crown were killed off by Marko Arnautovic's early opener, but the Blues still have to ensure they finish in the top four.
They remain three points behind Manchester United, with Liverpool, Arsenal Tottenham and Burnley lingering just below them, meaning they need to bounce back against their 12th-place hosts.

GAME PREVIEW
Antonio Conte warned his side to "find the solution early" to prevent another unexpected loss like Saturday's and demanded to see a response on Tuesday.
He may have conceded defeat in Chelsea's bid to defend the Premier League crown, but they have a lot to build towards after being paired with Barcelona in the next round of the Champions League.
In Huddersfield, they face a more manageable challenge, though, and Cesar Azpilicueta believes it is their chance to show they are a big team.
"Big teams, after a defeat, we have to answer in a strong way," he told Chelsea's website. 'We know it is a tough place. We have the character and hopefully we can get the three points.
"We are in December and we cannot think more than this. We have a tough game against Huddersfield, we will try to get the three points on the road and get back to winning ways and keep going, keep pushing"
David Wagner has already guided Huddersfield to a home win over Manchester United and they brought an end to a four-game losing streak at the weekend with a 2-0 win over Brighton.
With four wins and two draws from their eight games, they have shown to be difficult to get beyond in their own stadium and Wagner hopes to see a repeat of that this week.
"We had our experiences as well - especially at home - against the big teams and Chelsea is one of the biggest, maybe the biggest, team in England because they are the team who won the title last season," he told reporters.
"To play this at home at the John Smith's Stadium with our supporters, under floodlights - it will be an exciting evening and night for all of us and hopefully we can make it into a successful night for us as well.
"This is our aim - even if we know this is one of the biggest tasks we can have.
"But we will be there and we will try our best."
