'Quaresma is a very fast and explosive player who is a real warrior on the pitch, so he will be able to handle the physical nature of the Premier League,' said Carvalho of his international team-mate.

'But at the same time he is a very technical player and can score goals, which will be good for us.' Carvalho missed the Liverpool clash with a hamstring problem and his absences this season - along with those of Captain John Terry - have gone a long way towards explaining Chelsea's unusual vulnerability at the back. 

Chelsea is drawing the 3rd position of the standing board. The club is in pressure about its last defeats alongside toppers Manchester United and Liverpool. Even in the home match at home they got serious defeat to Liverpool by 2-0.
