The European Champions are currently in third place well challenged from Tottenham, Everton and Arsenal for Champions league spot while Wigan fear relegation standing 18th place in the table.
Demba Ba might be in unsure to start due to his broken nose against Newcastle while Petr Cech is still recovering from his broken finger. Ross Turnbul could protect Chelsea’s goal post instead.
Ashley Cole (hamstring) is probably rested after he picked up injury in his 100th international cap in England’s 2-1 victory over Brazil while David Luiz can start despite his minor ankle injury. The good news is that Hazard will be back after serving three match ban.
