Joel Robles makes just his second Premier League start of the season against Leicester City.
Maarten Stekelenburg has failed to recover from the injury sustained against Liverpool, meaning there’s another opportunity in goal for the Spaniard.
There are also starts for Mason Holgate, Gareth Barry and Kevin Mirallas who come into the team for James McCarthy, Enner Valencia and Ross Barkley.
The four alternations to the side named against Liverpool could see the Blues switch to a five-at-the-back formation, with Holgate, Ramiro Funes Mori and Ashley Williams as the centre-halves.
