Thiago Silva, Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz are the returning trio, with Reece James and N’Golo Kante out through injury and illness. Timo Werner drops to the bench.

It means a 150th Chelsea appearance for Italy’s Euro 2020-winning midfielder Jorginho alongside Mateo Kovacic in central midfield, with Romelu Lukaku retained up front. Havertz and Ziyech are chosen to support the Belgian in attack.

Cesar Azpilicueta starts at wing-back this week and Marcos Alonso continues on the opposite flank, with Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger retained in central defence and Edouard Mendy in goal.

Juventus make two changes from matchday one as injury forces Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala to sit out.
