The Blues are currently 12th in the table with 19 points and will be aiming to climb up a few places with a victory.

Predicted Line-up:

Djordje Petrovic is set to make his full Premier League debut in goal for the Blues following a knee injury for Robert Sanchez .

In front of him, there will be enforced changes with Reece James and Marc Cucurella sustaining injuries against Everton too.

Thiago Silva and Levi Colwill should enter the fray. Axel Disasi is likely to slot at right-back with Silva partnering Benoit Badiashile in central defence. Colwill looks set to feature in the left-back role.

In midfield, Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo are nailed-on starters in the central positions. Conor Gallagher is likely to start as the most advanced of the three midfielders against the Blues.

Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer have been stand-out performers for the Blues and should start on the left and right wing respectively with Nicolas Jackson leading the line once more.

Christopher Nkunku is fit to make the matchday squad after a serious knee injury but he could be introduced off the bench after the hour mark depending on the game situation.

Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1): Petrovic; Disasi, Silva, Badiashile, Colwill; Fernandez, Caicedo; Palmer, Gallagher, Sterling; Jackson.
