Maresca confirmed Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, Levi Colwill and Romeo Lavia would all be monitored ahead of tonight’s fixture, due to nursing slight knocks, when he spoke to the media on Friday.

Palmer has recovered in time to start against Vitor Pereira’s side, but the other trio miss out completely.

There is a first Blues outing of the season for Chalobah, who was last week recalled from his loan at Crystal Palace, where he made 14 appearances in all competitions.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also comes into the midfield for his first Premier League start since signing from Leicester City in the summer.

It means Robert Sanchez will start in goal once more, with Reece James at right back, Tosin and Chalobah likely to be in the middle and Marc Cucurella should be at left back.

Moises Caicedo and Dewsbury-Hall are expected to be in midfield, with Noni Madueke and Pedro Neto on the flanks and Palmer in a more advanced central role. Nicolas Jackson leads the line once more.

Chelsea: Sanchez; James, Tosin, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Dewsbury-Hall; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson
