Chelsea will play for the final time in 2024 on Monday night when they make the trip to Ipswich Town in the Premier League. After losing to Fulham on Boxing Day, Enzo Maresca's men will be desperate to end the year on a high.

Despite the festive period being all but over, the Blues face a busy January with five games. Victory at Portman Road will see them return to second in the Premier League table after Nottingham Forest's win over Everton.

All eyes will be on the squad arriving at Ipswich and team news later on to see whether Noni Madueke has been integrated back into the team. The winger, alongside Renato Veiga, was left out of the Boxing Day defeat to Fulham for 'technical' reasons.
