TEAM NEWS
Sheffield United will not have their versatile defender on loan, Ethan Ampadu as he is not eligible to play against his parent club under the clause. This means either Kean Bryan or Phil Jagielka will take his place. Oli McBurnie may return to the team while Chelsea should watch out for Billy Sharp who has netted three winning goals in the previous month.
Chelsea will not get the services of the veteran defender, Thiago Silva who picked up a thigh injury against Spurs. Kurt Zouma and Havertz are still questionable as they continue to recover their fitness. Tuchel may hand out an opportunity to Andreas Christensen in the defense. Ziyech and Pulsiic may get a start as they didn’t start the previous games.
