Mauricio Pochettino has made two changes to his side for the visit of Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. Reece James has been declared fit enough only for the bench, as have Axel Disasi and Nicolas Jackson

Mykhailo Mudyrk returns to the team having been among the substitutes against Burnley when Raheem Sterling starred from the left. The former Man City star looks set to lead the Chelsea forward line as Armando Broja drops out of the squad entirely with a knee injury.

Robert Sanchez once again starts in goal but with a new backline to protect him. Marc Cucurella heads to left back as Levi Colwill moves inside to play alongside Thiago Silva as Disasi continues his recovery from an issue that saw him pull out of the France squad over the international break. Malo Gusto returns from his suspension to play at right back.

Chelsea maintain a consistent midfield three with Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Conor Gallagher. The latter captains the side once again.

Cole Palmer looks set to continue from the right wing after Chelsea's 100% record with the deadline day signing in the starting lineup, with Mudryk on the opposite flank
