Lincoln City will be without versatile attacking midfielder Jack Moylan this week as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury, while Dom Jefferies is a doubt due to a hip problem.
In their absence, Oscar Thorn and Francis Okoronkwo could be drafted in to join Freddie Draper in the front line against Chelsea.
At right-back, Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee Dexter Lembikisa is still waiting to make his Imps debut, and if he is not deemed ready to feature, Lewis Montsma could be asked to fill in on that side of defence.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have a lengthy absentee list to manage. Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is suspended following his red card against Manchester United, meaning Filip Jorgensen is expected to start between the sticks.
Midfielder Romeo Lavia and centre-back Benoît Badiashile are both not yet ready to return, so manager Enzo Maresca may pair Tosin Adarabioyo and Trevoh Chalobah in central defence, with Andrey Santos likely to partner Enzo Fernández in a double pivot.
The Blues are still without long-term absentees Liam Delap and Levi Colwill as they work through their respective thigh and knee rehabilitation programmes. Cole Palmer could feature, but he faces a late fitness test due to a recurring groin issue.
