Ben Chilwell is back on the bench after missing Monday’s 3-0 win over Newcastle with a knee problem, with Marc Cucurella keeping his place at left-back.

Badiashile is also fit again to take a place on the bench after five weeks out with a groin injury.

Enzo Fernandez is suspended but Mauricio Pochettino has stuck with a similar team to the one which beat Newcastle, with Sanchez and Mykhailo Mudryk the only two changes.

Mudryk comes in for Fernandez, with Conor Gallagher dropping deeper in midfield.

Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Raheem Sterling keep their place.

Confirmed Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Gusto, Disasi, Chalobah, Cucurella, Gallagher, Caicedo, Palmer, Mudryk, Sterling, Jackson

Subs: Petrovic, Badiashile, Silva, Acheampong, Chilwell, Harrison, Chukwuemeka, Madueke, Washington
