Chelsea will look to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they entertain the unbeaten Hull City at Stamford Bridge.
Xabi Alonso's Blues suffered their first defeat of the season against defending champions Arsenal on Sunday, but they bounced back in midweek with a thumping 6-3 victory over Leeds United in the EFL Cup.
It was a tale of two halves at the Bridge, with the half-time introduction of Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Pedro Neto sparking a second half comeback after the hosts found themselves trailing by two goals.
Very few pundits imagined Hull City would be unbeaten three games into their Premier League return, and yet Sergej Jakirovic's men have been a breath of fresh air in the top-flight so far.
The Tigers defeated Manchester United on the opening weekend before toppling fellow promoted side Coventry City, and the Humberside outfit then held Aston Villa to a goalless draw at the MKM Stadium.
Alonso makes two changes from the side that was beaten by Arsenal with Levi Colwill replacing Maxence Lacroix and Malo Gusto stepping in for Josh Acheampong.
Gusto's presence at right wing-back means Jorrel Hato slots into the central defensive three alongside Colwill and Wesley Fofana.
As for Hull, Jakirovic makes one change from their previous Premier League fixture as Matt Crooks replaces Lucas Gourna-Douath.
