Liam Rosenior has named Mamadou Sarr and Jorrel Hato in his central defence and selected Andrey Santos to anchor the midfield. A planned inclusion from the first match, Wesley Fofana, is not expected to take part because of muscle discomfort and will not be available, with Jorrel Hato stepping into the defensive axis. Estevao and Roméo Lavia are included among the substitutes. Malo Gusto is absent from the match sheet due to illness. Reece James and Filip Jorgensen are also sidelined by injury ahead of the clash at Stamford Bridge.
