    For Chelsea, Maurizio Sarri names the same 11 and same bench as what began the 2-1 win over Newcastle.

    That means Eden Hazard again starts as a 'false nine', with Olivier Giroud a substitute and Alvaro Morata left out of the matchday squad.

    Chelsea: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Pedro, Hazard, Willian.

    Substitutes: Barkley, Caballero, Giroud, Hudson-Odoi, Christensen, Emerson Palmieri, Ampadu.
