If a Graham Potter lineup is usually difficult to predict, then one in a match that ultimately means nothing for Chelsea may prove even more so. Nevertheless, it could prove a vital opportunity to rest players who have had a busy workload in October in which the Blues have competed in nine matches.
Nevertheless, Potter has appeared reluctant to suggest he will pick an experimental team and is focused on earning three points and respecting the competition.
The 47-year-old said in his pre-match press conference: "We have to have respect for the competition and respect for the teams. We have to prepare to win. We're at home, we want to finish the competition off well at this stage, and we want to respond from the disappointment of the weekend. We'll pick a team that we think can win with respect to the opponent, and we'll try our best."
