As expected, Eden Hazard returns to the Chelsea starting line-up for the derby at the Emirates Stadium.
Former Arsenal man Cesc Fabregas also returns along with Tiemoue Bakayoko, as does Andreas Christensen, who has recovered from a recent illness.
It means Antonio Rudiger, Danny Drinkwater, Pedro and Willian drop to the bench.
Mesut Ozil has been passed fit to start for Arsenal, but Laurent Koscielny misses out through injury.
The Gunners are also without the like of Nacho Monreal, Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey.
Chelsea: Courtois, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Moses, Kante, Bakayoko, Alonso, Fabregas, Hazard, Morata.
Subs: Caballero, Rudiger, Drinkwater, Pedro, Zappacosta, Willian, Batshuayi.
Arsenal: Cech, Holding, Mustafi, Chambers, Bellerin, Xhaka, Wilshere, Maitland-Niles, Ozil, Sanchez, Lacazette
Subs: Ospina, Mertesacker, Walcott, Iwobi, Welbeck, Coquelin, Elneny.
