Frank Lampard's team selection for the lunch-time Premier League kick-off against Crystal Palace has prompted a huge reaction from a number of Chelsea fans.
As expected there is no room for Antonio Rudiger after he was ruled out until next month following groin surgery, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek is making good progress but a return date hasn't yet been set.
Furthermore, Ross Barkley doesn't make the squad because of an on-going issue and vice-captain Jorginho is suspended after picking up his fifth booking of the season in the 2-1 win over Watford last week.
Lampard has opted for a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation this afternoon, recalling the fit again Emerson Palmieri at left-back in place of Marcos Alonso.
There's also a big call on the opposite flank as captain Cesar Azpilicueta is rested which means a chance for wonderkid Reece James.
Kurt Zouma continues his partnership with Fikayo Tomori at centre-back with Andreas Christensen on the bench.
Tammy Abraham will lead the line again and is supported in attack by Willian, Mount and Christian Pulisic.
In total Lampard has made just the three changes to the side which started against Ajax in the Champions League last time out as N'Golo Kante comes in for Jorginho
Chelsea line-up: Kepa; James, Zouma, Tomori, Emerson; Kante, Jorginho; Willian, Mount, Pulisic; Abraham
Most of the reaction from Chelsea supporters on social media has centred around the inclusions of James and Kante.
