Chelsea will be looking to put their Premier League woes to the back of their minds when they take on Dynamo Kiev at Stamford Bridge in a crucial Champions League Group G clash on Wednesday night.
Another home defeat against Liverpool on Saturday was remarkably the reigning champions' sixth league loss in 11, leaving Jose Mourinho exasperated, and refusing to comment on his future.
Their form in the Champions League has been also been inconsistent with a solitary home win over Maccabi Tel Aviv, a defeat at Mourinho's former club Porto and a point from the reverse fixture in Kiev two weeks ago to show from their three matches to date.
Team news
Striker Radamel Falcao is out of clash with after picking up an injury in training on Tuesday.
The on-loan Monaco striker took part in training, with Mourinho afterwards reporting the Colombian had a "muscular injury" which would keep him out for a few weeks.
Right-back Branislav Ivanovic (hamstring) and winger Pedro (undisclosed) took part in training and could return, but goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois (knee) remains out.
Dynamo, meanwhile, arrive in London at near full strength - giving Rebrov a host of options as he looks to increase Chelsea's pain.
