Chelsea team news

Enzo Fernández, who sat out the Forest clash, is expected to be back in contention for this one. Malo Gusto remains suspended following his red card last time out, while the rest of Chelsea’s injured contingent are still some way off returning.

Sunderland team news

Sunderland could be reminded of what they’re missing, with Marc Guiu - who was briefly on loan from Chelsea before being recalled - potentially featuring for the visitors.

Noah Sadiki is a doubt after hobbling off late on against Wolves, while record signing Habib Diarra and a few fringe players remain sidelined.
