Injury News Chelsea (a)

Jadon Sancho will return after his loan terms prevented him from facing his parent club last time out.

Harvey Elliott has recovered from his sickness, but it's doubtful he'll make the squad.

Tyrone Mings, Ross Barkley and Pau Torres remain sidelined. Mings will miss his 11th consecutive game, and Pau Torres his third, as both are not expected to return until the New Year. Barkley is likely out until February.
