There are expected to be changes made to the defensive lineup for the home side but Kepa is likely to retain his berth on the starting team sheet.
A recall to the first XI is certain for Reece James while the fit again Cesar Azpilicueta could also make his way back while Trevoh Chalobah and Benoît Badiashile drop down to the bench.
In the heart of the midfield, Denis Zakaria could give way for Mateo Kovacic who will most likely join Enzo Fernandez and Mason Mount.
Joao Felix could return to the Chelsea front line to operate as the focal point of attack while Raheem Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk feature in the wide roles.
