Given their recent workload, Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger, N'Golo Kante, Willian and Tammy Abraham are all expected to drop out of the starting lineup.
That should lead to a start at left-back for Emerson Palmieri, while Andreas Christensen is almost certain to come into the middle of the backline.
Mateo Kovacic is expected to receive a recall in the centre of the pitch, potentially alongside Ross Barkley, who has spent the majority of the last two-and-a-half months out of contention.
Further forward, Pedro and Callum Hudson-Odoi should get the nod on the flanks, with Michy Batshuayi being handed a rare chance in attack.
After impressing as a substitute against Arsenal last weekend, academy graduate Tariq Lamptey may be handed his first senior start at right-back.
Second-choice goalkeeper Willy Caballero will replace Kepa Arrizabalaga between the sticks.
