Team news

Chelsea is deprived of Edouard Mendy for the clash because he is absent from the CAN with Senegal. Thomas Tuchel will therefore have to choose between Kepa Arrizabalaga or third choice Marcus Bettenilli.

Kai Havertz broke his finger in the midweek victory over Tottenham and will play no part in the clash.

Ben Chilwell, Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah are also out of action.

N’Golo Kante and Thiago Silva both have coronavirus.

Young Blues like Lewis Hall and Harvey Vale are likely to start right off the bat.

Chesterfield’s top scorer Kabongo Tshimanga will spearhead the opposing team’s attack.
