The Blues are looking to make it four consecutive victories following our top-flight triumphs over Bournemouth and West Ham United and a win over Barrow in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

And having heavily rotated his side for the visit of the League Two leaders in midweek, Maresca has brought ten players back into his starting XI this afternoon.

Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has replaced Filip Jorgensen and will face his former employers.

Malo Gusto remains at right-back having returned from injury in midweek. Wesley Fofana and Levi Colwill are our centre-back pairing, and Marc Cucurella comes back in at left-back.

Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez were rested against Barrow but return to the Chelsea midfield. Cole Palmer is set to occupy the No.10 role with Noni Madueke and Jadon Sancho our wingers.

Maresca admitted pre-game that he had a difficult choice to make as to which of Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku led the Blues attack this afternoon. The Chelsea head coach has opted for Jackson, who netted twice at West Ham United last weekend.

Nkunku is named on the substitutes bench, as is Romeo Lavia, who has returned from injury and could feature for the first time in four weeks.

Chelsea: Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson

Chelsea substitutes: Jorgensen, Disasi, Tosin, Veiga, Lavia, Neto, Mudryk, Felix, Nkunku
