The Blues are looking to get back to winning ways in the top flight after our frustrating 2-2 draw against Sheffield United last time out – and close the gap to the sides in the European places.

Djordje Petrovic keeps his place in the Chelsea goal and there is a return at right-back for Malo Gusto. He replaces Axel Disasi, who is not included in the matchday squad due to injury.

The rest of the back four consists of Trevoh Chalobah, Thiago Silva and Marc Cucurella. Ben Chilwell is among the substitutes having overcome the illness that kept him out against the Blades.

There is no Enzo Fernandez in the squad this evening. Moises Caicedo and Conor Gallagher will patrol the midfield.

Ahead of that duo is an attacking quartet of Mykhailo Mudryk, Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson.

There are two new names on the bench, with Academy duo Kiano Dyer and Tyrique George included in the senior matchday squad for the first time.

Chelsea: Petrovic; Gusto, Chalobah, Silva, Cucurella; Caicedo, Gallagher; Mudryk, Palmer, Madueke; Jackson

Chelsea substitutes: Bettinelli, Badiashile, Gilchrist, Chilwell, Dyer, Casadei, Chukwuemeka, George, Deivid Washington
