Frank Lampard has made three changes to the Chelsea side that was defeated by Real Madrid for the visit of Brentford.
Reece James and Kai Havertz drop out of the team due to injury. The former has been ruled out for the season with a hamstring issue while the German forward is still struggling with a knee problem that saw him miss the Premier League match with Brighton.
Marc Cucurella has dropped out of the squad to be replaced by Ben Chilwell who was suspended against Los Blancos. Cesar Azpilicueta features for the first time since going off with a head injury against Southampton in February, while Raheem Sterling has moved off the bench and back into the starting XI.

Noni Madueke makes a squad under Lampard for the first time for a place on the bench as the Blues boss appears to have opted for a system similar to which he used in the Champions League. That sees Enzo Fernandez, Mateo Kovacic, N'Golo Kante and Conor Gallagher all start.
Lampard hinted players who have no featured much could earn their opportunity before the end of the season.
He said: "If they deserve it, for sure. There are two things. There's the individual work, showing you deserve it. I'm fully for that. During my first period at the club, I came in with a transfer ban and losing big players and everyone said 'Of course, the young players get in the team'.
"They got in the team because they deserved it with how they trained. That's a culture and a way you have to have at a top football club. I don't think changes just for the moment, I think it should always be there."
Chelsea XI: Kepa, Fofana, Silva, Chalobah, Azpilicueta, Fernandez, Kante, Kovacic, Chilwell, Gallagher, Sterling.
Subs: Mendy, Badiashile, Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic, Felix, Mudryk, Ziyech, Madueke, Aubameyang.
