Stamford Bridge, England
Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is hoping David Luiz will spare him a defensive disaster for Boxing Day's west London derby against Fulham.
Villas-Boas found himself down to just one centre-half in Thursday night's Barclays Premier League game at Tottenham after Branislav Ivanovic limped off injured, along with midfielder John Obi Mikel.
Both look set to miss Monday's Stamford Bridge showdown, but Villas-Boas was optimistic Luiz would back from a knee problem, while he may recall Frank Lampard with Ramires suspended after picking up his fifth booking of the season.
Fulham have no fresh injury concerns heading into the clash.
The Cottagers are physically unscathed from their 5-0 home defeat to Manchester United in midweek and have been boosted by Steve Sidwell's back to training after a hernia operation.
The 29-year-old, though, is unlikely to feature against his former club at Stamford Bridge and will be joined on the sidelines by fellow midfielder Simon Davies (back), goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer (spine) and defender Zdenek Grygera (knee).MANAGER QUOTES
Andre Villas-Boas (Chelsea): "We could have David Luiz available to back on Boxing Day. But we are in the market for another centre-half and we have to respond quickly when the transfer window opens."
Martin Jol (Fulham): "I don't think we are cruising confidence, it's about teamwork. If you work as a team, we are good and our goal difference has shown that. That's probably been a big plus for us this season.
"But that is something we destroyed on Wednesday with the five goals (we lost to Manchester United). If you play as a team, you don't concede goals and you always get your chances. But if you conceded early like we did, then you get tired as well and that's not what you need."
