CHELSEA’S TEAM NEWS
Blues boss Potter should do with out Reece James and N’Golo Kante, with each set for an prolonged stint on the sidelines. Wesley Fofana can also be out. Ben Chilwell ought to function, although, after being rested for the Brentford draw, whereas Conor Gallagher is a doubt after being taken unwell.
“I have never spoken to the physician however Connor simply felt unwell,” defined Potter. “He felt like he was going to be sick. You could possibly most likely see that in his first quarter-hour, he wasn’t fairly himself. So, hopefully, it is only a 24-hour factor and he might be okay. Hopefully, he recovers rapidly.”
Kepa Arrizabalaga has been in purpose, rather than Edouard Mendy, and the west Londoners have been utilising their squad to good impact. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang solely got here on for the ultimate 10 minutes on Wednesday, as Ruben Loftus-Cheek began at wing-back, Armando Broja led the road and Carney Chukwuemeka loved solely a second outing in Chelsea colors.
