The Blues will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run to five matches in all competitions and continue their climb up the top-flight table.

Robert Sanchez starts once again in goal and will be guarded by a back four of Axel Disasi, Thiago Silva, Levi Colwill, and Marc Cucurella.

Moises Caicedo is partnered in midfield by Conor Gallagher. Enzo Fernandez is not in the matchday squad.

Noni Madueke is handed his first Premier League start of the campaign and is set to be deployed off the right of our attack.

Cole Palmer, who has scored in our previous two matches, keeps his place in the side and Raheem Sterling will be deployed off the left.

The attack will be led by Nicolas Jackson, who comes back into the starting XI.

Chelsea: Sanchez; Disasi, Silva, Colwill, Cucurella; Gallagher, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Sterling; Jackson

Chelsea substitutes: Petrovic, Beach, Gusto, James, Badiashile, Maatsen, Ugochukwu, Matos, Washington
