Chelsea alter their lineup with one change from the team that suffered a 3-1 defeat to West Ham the previous weekend. Moises Caicedo gets his inaugural full appearance since his £115m transfer from Brighton, replacing Carney Chukwuemeka, who underwent knee surgery following an injury at the London Stadium.
Benoit Badiashile (hamstring), Armando Broja (knee), Reece James (hamstring), Chukwuemeka (knee), Wesley Fofana (knee), Christopher Nkunku (knee), and Mykhailo Mudryk (unspecified) are all absent due to an occupied treatment room at Stamford Bridge.
“Romeo Lavia is still working on his fitness and remains a few weeks away from being eligible for selection.
