Team news
A major addition to the Chelsea squad will be Romelu Lukaku, who missed the draw with Liverpool this weekend after the Belgian’s explosive interview with Italian media.
Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Trevoh Chalobah and Andreas Christensen will all miss the shock but Timo Werner could bench.
The Blues will also be deprived of goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, since he represents Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Steven Bergwijn and Cristian Romero are still unable to play due to injury but Harry Winks could start again.
Harry Kane should lead head on, as usual.
