Chelsea make three changes from the side beaten so disappointingly
at Everton in their last Premier League game.
Enzo Fernandez has been given a two-game ban by
the club after outspoken comments suggesting he leave in the summer. Andrey
Santos starts in midfield while Estevao Willian is also in the starting
line-up. Moises Caicedo drops down the bench.
Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Tosin, Hato, Lavia, Santos, Estevao, Palmer, Joao Pedro.
Subs: Sharman-Lowe, Acheampong, Sarr, Cucurella, Essugo, Caicedo, Garnacho, Kavuma-McQueen, Delap
Port Vale manager Jon Brady makes four changes from the side that lost 4-0 at Wycombe Wanders as Rhys Walters, Liam Gordon, Ben Waine and Martin Sherif come in for Jordan Shipley, Jaheim Headley, George Hall and Ethon Archer.
Port Vale XI: Gauci, Hall, Gabriel, Garrity, Walter, Ojo, Gordon, Waine, Sherif, John, Humphreys.
