Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is likely to rotate his team, giving opportunities to players who have not seen much action recently. This could be a chance for them to prove themselves and make a case for more playing time.

One player who may get a chance is Alejandro Garnacho, who has been providing assists in recent matches but did not play against his former club last weekend. He may have an opportunity to pressure players like Estevao and Pedro Neto for a starting spot.

Josh Acheampong has only made one appearance for the first team this season, but Maresca could give him a chance to play this week. Acheampong has not appeared in a match since the opening weekend of the campaign.

Reggie Walsh, a 16-year-old from the Chelsea Academy, is a favorite of Maresca's and may get his first team chance this week. Maresca has praised Walsh for his skills and work ethic, saying he is doing exactly what he wants from the player without being told to do so.

Tyrique George has been given opportunities to shine from the bench since an injury to Liam Delap, and Maresca has used him three times in the Premier League this season. George has shown promise as a main striker, and many predict he will get a chance to play against Lincoln City.
