Gaston Ramirez returns after missing the 1-1 draw at Manchester City due to suspension while the rest of Aitor Karankas squad reported back from international duty apparently unscathed.Chelsea have no injury concerns with midfielder Cesc Fabregas and Kurt Zouma fit again, although the latter will not be rushed back to the first team following his lengthy lay-off with a knee injury.Opta statsChelsea have been beaten just twice in their last 17 Premier League games against Boro, with both losses in 2006 (W12 D3).Middlesbrough are looking to win successive home Premier League games for the first time since August 2008. Highlights - Chelsea 5-0 Everton Eden Hazard is set to make 150th Premier League appearance in this game - he has 48 goals and 31 assists in his 149 league games for Chelsea. He would be the sixth Chelsea player to score 50 Premier League goals if he scores twice more.However, six of Hazards seven goals this season have been scored at Stamford Bridge.If Chelsea win this game without conceding, it will be the 10th time a Premier League club has won 6+ consecutive games without shipping a goal - Chelsea will have been responsible for half of those.Chelsea are 14 points better off this season after 11 games (25) than they were last season at this point (11).

Highlights - Manchester City 1-1 Middlesbrough Mersons predictionBoro have turned the corner. To pick up five points from their last three games - away at Arsenal where they should have won, home to Bournemouth who were on form, and to then get a draw at City, who had just beaten Barcelona.This will be very, very difficult for them, and I think theyre going to set up, as they did against Arsenal and City, to make it very difficult for Chelsea to break them down.Ive played at Boro, its harder to sit back at home than it is away, because the fans will want you to attack, but if they open this game up it will get messy. Antonio Conte was named the October Barclays Premier League Manager of the Month The three at the back is working for Chelsea, and I think the wing-backs have done great. But playing wing-back is the graveyard shift, its a hard job. Youre up and down, up and down all day, you have to be the full-back and the winger at the same time.Id be shocked if Conte can get his wing-backs doing that week in, week out, and when they start getting tired, you start playing five at the back and getting overrun in midfield. If they can rotate their wing-backs, they can do anything.Theyve been outstanding since the Arsenal defeat, they have ripped teams apart. They made Everton look like a League Two team.PAUL PREDICTS: 0-2 Middlesbrough defender Ben Gibson is looking forward to playing against Chelsea striker Diego Costa when the sides meet on Sunday.

"Mikes really performed well and we didnt see anybody beating him out," coach Tim Burke said Friday, after the team released two of the three prospects they brought in to challenge for the position. Brett Cameron, the son of Bomber punting legend Bob Cameron, and Aussie rules footballer Tim Hutchison were both let go. The Bombers held onto Billy Pavlopoulos, the former UBC Thunderbirds kicker they picked up in the 2013 CFL draft. "We feel Billys probably the next best guy and so well see how he does the rest of training camp and see if hes a guy were going to want to put on the practice roster." Renaud, starting his fifth season with the team and in the CFL, says he feels he has met the challenge. "I feel like Im probably having the best camp Ive ever had," he said after practice Friday. "I dont know whether thats the competition but I trained really hard and Im healthy and I just want to do the best Ive ever done and thats where my focus is at." Cameron leaves camp after scoring his first CFL points in Wednesdays pre-season game, when he kicked a 37-yard field goal in the Bombers 24-6 loss to the Toronto Argonauts. Burke says he feels Cameron could have a future in the CFL but he must work on his technique. Renaud, meanwhile, looked a lot safer after Wednesdays exhibition game when he averaged just over 44 yards with his punts. Burke also says he is getting closer to a decision on which of his three backups will move to the No. 2 spot behind starter Buck Pierce and he expects it to be sorted out before the regular season starts. "This second game all three guys behind Buck will be playing," said Burke.dddddddddddd "I mean I have an opinion of where we are now that I dont want to share yet but I think it will start sorting itself out pretty good in the second game." The Bombers play their second exhibition game in Hamilton next week and Justin Goltz has already been told hell start and play the first half. Goltz, the only backup the Bombers retained from last season, didnt spend a lot of time on the field Wednesday. Max Hall, one of the two newcomers in camp, saw most of the action, although Chase Clement also played more than Goltz. Goltz knows this is his big chance to prove himself. "I want to establish myself as a leader of a team," he said. "Get a chance to go out there . . . a starter for the first time in the CFL. So thats a big deal for me." Although hes entering his fourth season with the Bombers, Goltz has always played third fiddle to the other two backups cut by the Bombers during the off-season -- Alex Brink and Joey Elliott. Pierce, who wont be playing at all in Hamilton, ran only three series Wednesday, failed to complete a pass and almost got sacked before he was yanked. Keeping him healthy is one of the top priorities of the Bombers this season. He says he also got a little talking to from offensive co-ordinator Gary Crowton for running the ball on his first play. "He said, Buck, what are you doing? Thats the first play of the pre-season and were doing everything to protect you and youre doing that?" Pierce said he apologized. On Friday, the team also released import linebacker Chad Faulcon, import defensive lineman Marcus Hyde, import defensive back Sam Pope and non-import defensive back Jawann Westerman, who was signed late last season and placed on the practice roster.
