Chelsea turn to Morgan Rogers and Geovany Quenda as João Pedro misses the derby after a knee issue.
- On Saturday, Chelsea host London rivals Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge, though the Blues will be without leading scorer Pedro, who has been left out of the matchday squad.
- Losing Pedro, who has five goals and three assists, is an enormous blow for the Blues. He previously missed the Brentford defeat with a knee injury but had returned for recent victories.
- Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso confirmed the striker "felt something" in training, requiring further scans. Winger Morgan Rogers starts up top, while young Geovany Quenda makes his first Premier League start on the left wing.
- Malo Gusto returns following illness, while Mike Penders replaces the injured Emiliano Mart in goal after he underwent surgery for a broken jaw suffered against Everton.
- Tottenham arrive in SW6 hoping to build momentum after recording their first league victory against Coventry on Monday. Chelsea hold a dominant home record against their rivals, with the last Spurs win occurring in 2018.
