Mbuemo has a good record against Chelsea

Mbuemo tends to perform well against Chelsea and has scored three times in six previous appearances against the Blues. The 25-year-old notched his latest goal against Chelsea earlier this season in December and the Cameroonian international should carry a significant threat in the final third again on Sunday.
