Enzo Maresca’s side have made an impressive start to the season, sitting fourth in the Premier League table with only defeat in their opening six matches. Chelsea beat Brighton in a thrilling clash last time out, as Cole Palmer scored all four goals in a 4-2 victory, but the England star is not involved tonight, after the Blues left him out of their squad for the league phase of this competition to “protect” his workload. Mykhailo Mudryk, Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix all start.
