It’s particularly tough on Fred, who had an outstanding performance against the Spurs in midweek.
Unsurprisingly, Cristiano Ronaldo is not in the squad after being dropped as a disciplinary measure for refusing to take the field against Spurs.
David de Gea is in goal.
The back four are Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw, all of whom have been in excellent form.
Alongside Eriksen in midfield is Casemiro.
Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho are the attacking midfielders, with Marcus Rashford leading the line again.
There is still no sign of long-term absentees Anthony Martial, Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka or Donny van de Beek on the bench.
Martin Dubravka is missing again and has not featured so far during his loan from Newcastle.
The bank includes Tom Heaton, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malaysia, Scott McTominay, Fred, Anthony Elanga, Facundo Pellistri, Zidane Iqbal and Alexander Garnacho.
Start at Stamford Bridge is at 5:30pm
