Robert Sanchez is expected to start in goal after Djordje Petrovic stayed in London to nurse a minor injury. Romeo Lavia and Wesley Fofana both played against Wrexham as they look to build-up match fitness after injury-hit seasons.
Celtic are not thought to be carrying any fresh injury concerns at this stage.
There were some promising signs for Chelsea in Maresca’s first game but their lack of conviction playing out from the back could cost them goals.
Draw, 2-2.
The two teams have never met competitively.
