Goalkeeper and Defence
GK – Robert Sanchez – Filip Jorgensen sustained an injury against Pafos, so the Spaniard will be recalled to the starting eleven.
RB – Malo Gusto – the fullback returned from injury midweek, and he could be set to start his second game in four days.
CB – Wesley Fofana – Tosin has been ruled out for several weeks, so the Frenchman could be asked to play more often than he has been so far this season.
CB – Trevoh Chalobah – the 26-year-old is expected to replace Benoit Badiashile in the lineup on Sunday afternoon.
LB – Marc Cucurella – Jorrel Hato is beginning to find his feet in a Chelsea shirt, but the Dutchman will still need to do more if he wants to displace the current first-choice left-back from his spot.
