But they have kept just one clean sheet in 11 games under director Frank Lampard, and not one from home.
The Blues lined up at a 3-4-2-1 formation since Lampard handed begins to 19-year-old Reece James and Fikayo Tomori, 21.

Benjamin Andres suggestion was tipped past the post from Kepa Arrizabalaga, along with the Chelsea keeper had a few nervous moments when he had been made to return into the border of this box to stop.
But Chelsea were the better side and deserved success – Jorginho smacked the exterior of the right post and also Mason Mount was refused following the rest from close range.
This was a different test for Chelseas young group, with four players in the starting XI whod played in the Championship last year.
Abraham, who turned 22 on Wednesday, was one of those, using spent 2018-19 at Aston Villa on loan.
Hes impressed hugely since his return to Stamford Bridge, picking up a help from the Uefa Super Cup defeat by Liverpool and netting seven goals from as many Premier League games.

As he saw 18-year-old Hudson-Odois cross fly onto his boot before he fired it and over the keeper the method within his volley was beautiful.
The goal was his second in the area of five days, and his first in Europe as March after he netted against Brighton.
He finished with a game-high six shots against the Seagulls, although Itd taken him to score in the Premier League.
Willian was a threat all evening in spans for Abraham and also Mount also, whipping in France before scoring the winner.
It is never an easy place to play and Willian scores a worldie – no surprise there, Abraham told BT Sport.
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard on BT Sport:It seems really great. This is a place to come, additional to the strain of not beating Valencia. Plus it had been the very first time to get a few travelling in Europe.
Tomori was excellent again. He has to keep on with this. Ajax have set out their stall from the category. This gives us things and confidence. The hard work starts.
