After a commanding 7-0 victory over Port Vale that secured our place in the FA Cup semi-finals last time out, the Blues return to top-flight action for the first time in three weeks and are aiming to claim three points in our pursuit of Champions League qualification.

Robert Sanchez starts between the posts for the Blues once more and is set to be protected by a back four that consists of Malo Gusto, Wesley Fofana, Jorrel and Marc Cucurella.

With Enzo Fernandez unavailable, Andrey Santos and Moises Caicedo, who captains the side, start in our midfield.

Estevao Willian begins his first Premier League game since early February, and will be deployed in an attack that also includes Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto and Joao Pedro.

Chelsea: Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Hato, Cucurella; Andrey Santos, Caicedo (c); Estevao, Palmer, Neto; Joao Pedro

Chelsea substitutes: Sharman-Lowe, Acheampong, Tosin, Sarr, Essugo, Lavia, Garnacho, Guiu, Delap
