Chelsea host Preston North End in the third round of the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea want to win at all costs after Pochettino said they will go all out in the competition as it could be a consolation route for the Blues to reach Europe after struggling in the Premier League.
The Blues finished 2023 with four wins from their last five games in all competitions and will be looking to start 2024 with another victory despite a long injury list that includes: Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Trevoh Chalobah, Romeo Lavia, Wesley Fofana, Robert Sanchez, Carney Chukwuemeka, Marc Cucurella and Lesley Ugochukwu, while Nicolas Jackson is also unavailable as he joined Senegal for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Enzo Fernandez, who is now recovered from his hernia, will be available, while Christopher Nkunku, Raheem Sterling and Mykhaylo Mudryk will push for a start in attack after coming on as substitutes in the Stamford Bridge side's previous game.
Chelsea possible starting lineup: Petrovic; Gusto, Gilchrist, Silva, Colwill; Fernandez, Gallagher; Madueke, Nkunku, Sterling; Broja.
Preston North End possible starting lineup: Woodman; Storey, Lindsay, Hughes; Potts, Ledson, McCann, Browne, Millar; Evans, Keane.
