Eden Hazard has once again been named on the Chelsea bench as Maurizio Sarri's charges host Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Belgian was among the subs as the Blues ran out 3-0 winners over Huddersfield Town on the opening day, but grabbed an assist after coming on late in the game.
Nonetheless, Sarri has opted to stick with Ross Barkley in the centre of the park as the West Londoners remain unchanged from their last outing.
Mateo Kovacic did not feature against the Terriers after joining from Real Madrid on transfer deadline day and he also has to make do with a spot on the bench.
Cesc Fabregas is out injured, while fellow ex-Arsenal man Olivier Giroud is among the substitutes, with Alvaro Morata preferred up front.
As for the visitors, boss Unai Emery has made two changes from the 2-0 loss to Manchester City last time out.
The big news is that Alex Iwobi is preferred to Aaron Ramsey in the three-man attacking midfield, meaning a more advanced central position for Mesut Ozil.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, meanwhile, retains his place in attack, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang again leading the line.
Chelsea: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso; Jorginho, Kante, Barkley; Willian, Pedro, Morata
Subs: Caballero, Christensen, Zappacosta, Moses, Hazard, Kovacic, Giroud
Arsenal: Cech; Bellerin, Sokratis, Mustafi, Monreal; Guendouzi, Xhaka; Iwobi, Ozil, Mkhitaryan; Aubameyang
Subs: Leno, Lichtsteiner, Elneny, Torreira, Ramsey, Welbeck, Lacazette
