Marc Cucurella is suspended for the clash after the Spaniard was sent off for two late bookings against Brentford last weekend. The left-back joins Mykhailo Mudryk as unavailable for the clash, with the Ukrainian provisionally suspended after an adverse result in a drug test sample.

Benoit Badiashile missed the win over Brentford and Tosin Adarabioyo could be handed another start at centre-back. Enzo Maresca revealed this week that Reece James is getting closer to a return but the clash comes too soon for the Chelsea captain. Wesley Fofana is also out with a hamstring issue.
