Chelsea have Jorginho back from suspension and will take up the deep-lying midfield role, pushing N’Golo Kante further forward, for Thursday's visit of Manchester City.
With such a quick turnaround and players still building up their fitness, manager Frank Lampard will make changes to the side that started the 2-1 win over Aston Villa.
Christian Pulisic is also set to come into the XI after coming off the bench to score at Villa Park.
Lampard has said Chelsea will need to press City from the front which suggests Tammy Abraham will get the nod ahead of Olivier Giroud despite his goal at the weekend
Cesar Azpilicueta looks set to keep his place at right-back after having a hand in both goals against Villa. Fikayo Tomori is still out injured and Callum Hudson-Odoi is not match fit.
Chelsea predicted XI (4-3-3): Kepa; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Rudiger, Alonso; Kante, Jorginho, Barkley; Mount, Abraham, Pulisic
