Chelsea and Brighton will look to extend their winning starts to the Premier League season when meeting on Sunday.
Both sides were amongst the best performers on the opening weekend, with Chelsea putting three past Fulham at Craven Cottage, and Brighton hammering Aston Villa 4-0.
Xabi Alonso resisted the temptation to make too many changes for their EFL Cup tie with Luton in midweek, naming Maxence Lacroix, Reece James, Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers against Luton.
Robert Sanchez's position as Chelsea's number one looks increasingly precarious, but the stopper should get the nod again over Mike Penders. Wesley Fofana, back from suspension, should return to defence,
With Moises Caicedo not yet featuring for Chelsea this season and Alonso 'hopeful' the Ecuadorian can play some part on Sunday, skipper Reece James may deputise in midfield again alongside Romeo Lavia, with Jorrel Hato retaining his place on the left, and Pedro Neto hoping to get the nod on the opposite flank. With question marks around Enzo Fernandez's future, the Argentine is expected to feature on the bench at best.
For the visitors, with Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh still injured, Maxim De Cuyper should retain his place on the left-wing after an excellent performance against Aston Villa last week. Jack Hinshelwood will miss out through injury after scoring a brace last time out, though conflicting reports suggest the 21-year-old will be out for anywhere between a week and six weeks.
Pascal Gross and Yasin Ayari should partner in midfield again with Matt O'Riley replacing the injured Hinshelwood. Ferdi Kadioglu was on the bench on Thursday and may be called up to start at left-back in place of the more centrally inclined Oliver Boscagli.
Georginio Rutter has picked up a knock and will miss out with Charalampos Kostoulas set to lead the line.
