Graham Potter has made four changes to the Chelsea side that drew with Brentford for the match against Manchester United.
Thiago Silva returns to the starting line-up after being rested against Brentford, while Ben Chilwell goes from being left out of the squad against the Bees straight back into his wing-back position.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returns to lead the line after Armando Broja was handed his full debut earlier in the week and he is supported by Raheem Sterling and Mason Mount. The latter continues his record of being the only outfield player to start every game under Potter.

Kalidou Koulibaly drops out of the squad altogether after a run in the team with Chalobah, Silva and Marc Cucurella looking to make up the back three.
The Blues remain without Wesley Fofana, N'Golo Kante and Reece James to long-term injury, while Conor Gallagher drops out of the side having been substituted after just 15 minutes on Wednesday night. The former Crystal Palace loanee was in training on Friday, having felt sick against Brentford and makes the bench once again.
Potter has already defeated today's visitors this season as Brighton recorded a 4-0 win over the Red Devils in their first game of the season. Chelsea's head coach believes they will offer a different prospect today, however.
He said: “A lot. I have huge respect for [Erik] Ten Hag, the job he’s done in his career, and his quality as a coach. You can see people adapt and adjust as they go into the competition faze. So they have done well. Obviously, it wasn’t a great start from their perspective but they’ve battled back, got points and played well. It’s going to be a tough game.”
Chelsea XI : Kepa; Chalobah, Silva, Cucurella; Azpilicueta, Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Cucurella, Mount Aubameyang, Sterling..
Substitutes: Mendy; Zakaria, Gallagher, Chukwuemeka, Kovacic; Pulisic, Ziyech, Broja, Havertz
