Kepa Arrizabalaga is set to continue in goal, with Cesar Azpilicueta at right back. Thiago Silva, rested and an unused substitute on Thursday, is set to take Wesley Fofana's spot as he struggled compared to Trevoh Chalobah.

Carney Chukwuemeka will battle with Ruben Loftus-Cheek for a midfield role alongside Enzo Fernandez and Conor Gallagher.

Starting Chelsea XI: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Chalobah, Hall; Enzo, Gallagher, Loftus-Cheek; Madueke, Havertz, Sterling
