Erik ten Hag's starting line-up shows three changes from Saturday night's 1-1 draw at Brentford, whose Gtech Community Stadium is just five miles away from tonight's venue, Stamford Bridge.
The boss was forced to make at least one alteration to his XI, following the news earlier this week that Victor Lindelof will miss the next few games with a muscle problem.
Lisandro Martinez, a substitute at the weekend, was also ruled out in the same announcement.
Harry Maguire, however, is fit to start and he therefore comes in for Lindelof as Raphael Varane's centre-back partner.
