Malang Sarr has returned to the Chelsea starting lineup as Thomas Tuchel seemingly changes formation for Sunday's Premier League fixture with Newcastle United.
With four matches in the space of 10 days, Tuchel was always likely to make alterations to the team which defeated Norwich City on Thursday night.
In total, four changes have been made, with Sarr being used at left-back in a 4-3-3 formation, Trevoh Chalobah moving out wide on the opposite flank.
Antonio Rudiger, N'Golo Kante and Hakim Ziyech have also been brought back into the side, the latter making his first appearance since February 22.
Thiago Silva, Cesar Azpilicueta, Mateo Kovacic and Saul Niguez are the players to miss out, Azpilicueta absent from the squad after feeling ill during the meeting with the Canaries three days ago.
Timo Werner has retained his position in the Chelsea attack, subsequently resulting in Romelu Lukaku starting another game among the replacements.
Chelsea: Mendy; Chalobah, Christensen, Rudiger, Sarr; Kante, Jorginho, Mount; Ziyech, Havertz, Werner
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Silva, Alonso, Barkley, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Saul, Pulisic, Lukaku
Newcastle United: Dubravka; Manquillo, Schar, Lascelles, Burn, Targett; Guimaraes, Longstaff; Almiron, Wood, Murphy
Subs: Darlow, Gillespie, Dummett, Saint-Maximin, Ritchie, Krafth, Gayle, De Bolle
