Confirmed Chelsea team vs Man City: Humphreys handed debut, Hall starts, Zakaria steps out

Bashir Humphreys has been handed his senior debut by Graham Potter in one of six changes to the Chelsea side for this afternoon's FA Cup third-round tie against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

The two clubs faced off in the Premier League on Thursday evening and it was Pep Guardiola's side that came away with victory; a second-half strike from substitute Riyad Mahrez was enough for the reigning champions to leave Stamford Bridge with all three points.

Chelsea suffered two injuries in the 1-0 defeat with wingers Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic limping out with hamstring and knee issues respectively. Neither feature this afternoon. They have forced Potter's hand and forced him into further rotation than was perhaps planned for the FA Cup clash.
