Liam Rosenior has made a good start to life at Chelsea, and remains unbeaten in the Premier League with four wins and a draw from his five league matches.

Chelsea sit fifth, just a point behind Manchester United in fourth, knowing they need three points in their quest for Champions League qualification.

The Blues dropped points last time out as Stamford Bridge as they squandered a 2-0 lead against Leeds, with the game eventually finishing 2-2.

Chelsea will be without the injured Marc Cucurella, whilst Romeo Lavia is edging closer to a return and is set to feature for the under-21 side on Friday afternoon.

Paul Merson has backed Chelsea to win, and now Sutton has delivered his verdict on an important game for both clubs.

“I just can’t see anything other than a home win for Chelsea here, even with their wobble last time at Stamford Bridge where Leeds fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 – Liam Rosenior’s side won’t let that happen again,” he told BBC Sport.

“Sutton’s prediction: 2-0.”

Liam Rosenior faces tough March schedule

After Saturday’s game the Blues face a really tough March schedule, which will likely go a long way to deciding whether they qualify for the Champions League.

March begins with back to back away games against Arsenal and Aston Villa, before hosting Newcastle and travelling to Everton.

They also have an FA Cup fifth round tie against Wrexham, and the Champions League last 16 is also set to take place next month.

The Blues will need to at their best, and this run will arguably be what Rosenior is judged on in terms of how much progress has been made since he arrived.
