Andrey Santos and Romeo Lavia start for Chelsea as Enzo Maresca makes three changes to the side that played against Liverpool.
The other fresh face is Trevoh Chalobah, back after suspension. Benoit Badiashile, Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo are the three players to make way - although the Ecuadorian is on the bench.
Josh Acheampong partners Chalobah while both Reece James and Malo Gusto start again. It is Lavia’s first start of the season.
Reece James plays his 200th Chelsea game.
