Chelsea fans are incredibly excited by the prospect of a Joao Felix and Kai Havertz partnership after watching the duo link up in training.
The Blues have kept three clean sheets in their last three games as manager Graham Potter continues to work towards finding his best starting XI.
A big problem for Chelsea this year has been goals. They've scored just two league goals in 2023 and have drawn a blank in their last two against Liverpool and Fulham.

Havertz is leading the line at Stamford Bridge, although several supporters have questioned if he's got what it takes to make it as the first-choice striker.
Chelsea signed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona in the summer but he's already found himself frozen out by Potter.
The Gabon international hasn't been removed from the club's Champions League squad, with faith put in new signings Mykhailo Mudryk and Felix.

Felix made his Chelsea debut against Fulham in last month's reverse fixture but was sent off before the hour mark for a high boot on Kenny Tete.
It means he's yet to fully integrate with his teammates and forge any proper partnerships due to a three-match ban.

The Portugal international, who is on a season-long loan from Atletico Madrid, is eligible to return to action against West Ham United next Saturday.

In footage you can watch in the video player above, Felix and Havertz link up with a couple of lovely passes before Felix fires home.
Supporters online are keen to see the pair strut their stuff in a proper game as Chelsea look to climb up the table.
One person said: "These two are going to have unreal chemistry going forward."
Another commented: "I'm incredibly moved by this. I wasn't aware of Havertz's game at this level."

Someone said: "Didn't think I'd see this from any Chelsea players."
While a fourth tweeted: "We shouldn't give up on these players. They can get us out of it."
Potter admitted his side need to improve going forward if they want to close the gap on the top four. Chelsea are nine points behind Manchester United in fourth.

He said: "I feel we didn’t do enough in terms of our attacking play to create more, which is something we need to do. I think we saw a team against us who defend very well, are very organised and that bit of connection, that bit of fluidity, that bit of understanding that you need, we probably lacked a little bit which is understandable when you consider we have players coming back from injury and new players in the team. That’s just where we’re at, at the moment.
"There were some positives for us of course. The effort was there, the spirit was there, but as an attacking team we’d like to do more.
"I’m confident with the potential that we have, I’m confident of the ability that’s in the group. I think what we need to do now is gel the team. That’s the challenge, that’s what we need to do."
