Team News
N'Golo Kante is fully fit, after missing their previous Premier League encounter owing to a muscular injury. The likes of Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger are also in contention to feature but Emerson remains sidelines after picking up a thigh problem against Liverpool.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a long-term absentee and the Englishman will be missing once again as he recovers from an Achilles injury.
