Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, who hasn't played since the World Cup, is still out with a shoulder injury, so Kepa Arrizabalaga will again start.
Manchester City will be without Ruben Dias, who has a hamstring problem, while Aymeric Laporte's back issue will be assessed.
Forward Julian Alvarez could feature for the first time since winning the World Cup with Argentina.

I like Graham Potter and I want him to do well at Stamford Bridge but if you were a Chelsea fan you would be a bit worried about what you had seen under him so far.
