Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is fit again after recovering from the knock which saw him miss Saturday's surprise league defeat at Watford.

James Milner is also back after sitting out two matches with a minor muscle injury. Fellow midfielders Jordan Henderson (hamstring), Naby Keita (hip) and Xherdan Shaqiri (calf) remain absent.

Ki-Jana Hoever and Neco Williams, who appeared in the previous round against Shrewsbury, have been involved in preparations for the Stamford Bridge game but Harvey Elliott is unavailable as he has travelled with the U19s for their UEFA Youth League last-16 tie against Benfica in Portugal.
