Chelsea currently has four solid center backs. All could be improved on, but not massively, and all four deserve starting time for Chelsea.

Jamal Blackman is three games into his seventh loan. If his sixth loan did not end with a crushing injury, he could be the starter Chelsea need right now.

Chelsea did not get any of their transfer targets in January, but no one else bought them, either. Maybe they were not as available as everyone believed.

Chelsea is closer than not when it comes to their full back options. The main issue is they are much better set on one side than the other.

Tottenham's win over Manchester City should make it impossible for Frank Lampard to get a decent night's sleep as he thinks about Chelsea facing Mourinho.

This winter break is a good time to evaluate the Chelsea players thus far and the chances of them returning next season. It does not look good for keepers.
Travis Tyler|
Chelsea have the winter break to rest, recover and reflect on the past few months. Here are a few things we have in mind after the draw at Leicester City.

Chelsea FC didn’t make any headline grabbing moves during the transfer window, and though it’s frustrating, it means very little.
Barrett Rouen|
Chelsea is heading into their first winter break after a roller coaster two months. The Blues must take advantage of their time off to reset and refresh.
Travis Tyler|
Antonio Rudiger trebled the offensive output from Chelsea's centrebacks with his brace against Leicester. The Blues are temporarily closer to their norm.
George Perry|
Chelsea survived the match against Leicester with a well earned point. That just shows how tough the club has made life for Frank Lampard.
Travis Tyler|
Chelsea owe their point at the King Power Stadium to Antonio Rudiger. Since the defence provided the offence, player ratings decline from back-to-front.
George Perry|
Chelsea head to Leicester City with no new faces in the squad. The old familiar faces will be in good shape if they can fight out a draw.

Chelsea and Olivier Giroud are stuck with each other for the rest of the season. With the odds predicting a close game, Giroud could ensure the result.
Scott Brant|
Chelsea travel away to Leicester for a battle of third versus fourth. Both sides have story lines of regressing to means, but who breaks first?
Travis Tyler|
Chelsea scored a moral victory at the Court of Arbitration for Sport by getting their transfer ban rescinded and then not signing anyone. Now what?
The Pride of London Staff|
Chelsea has a huge match away to Leicester before the "winter break". Both teams are battling over the best of the rest of the Premier League.
Travis Tyler|
Chelsea travel to the King Power Stadium, where the side that gets the better of these clashes will likely go into the winter break with three more points.
Nate Hofmann|
Bristol City have emerged as a last-minute destination for Ethan Ampadu. If Chelsea can wrangle his release from RB Leipzig, they absolutely should.
George Perry|
Chelsea look to get more comfortable in their race for the top four by taking points of the team above them in third. Our combined XI sets up in a 4-3-1-2.
