Team news
Long-term absentees N'Golo Kante and Armando Broja are nowhere near making a return to action for Chelsea.
They are joined on the sidelines by Ben Chilwell, Reece James and Wesley Fofana – all of whom are unlikely to be anywhere near the matchday squad.
Edouard Mendy also remains a doubt after suffering a shoulder injury.
