This will be his first full appearance of the season, with his game time coming from the bench in earlier games.

The Blues have been hampered by Conor Gallagher's suspension and N'Golo Kante's injury. However, Thomas Tuchel named his best available squad with his team hoping to secure another three points. The Blues will line up with Senegal shot stopper Edouard Mendy in goal, while continuing with a back three for this fixture. Tuchel has selected Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, and Kalidou Koulibaly to protect his defense. The former Napoli man will make his return after missing the previous game through suspension and will hope he can avoid a red card today. The Blues line up in the middle third with new boy Marc Cucurella keeping his spot on the left flank after his impressive start so far. Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Jorginho are other players vying for control for the side in differing positions. Raheem Sterling will continue to lead the line for Chelsea after his brace in the last game, surrounded by Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz, and Mason Mount. Connor Gallagher has been replaced by Billy Gilmore on the bench. Other substitutes include Kepa Arrizabalaga, Ben Chilwell, Ethan Ampadu, Carney Chukwuemeka, Mateo Kovacic, Christian Pulisic, Harvey Vale, and Armando Broja.
