Xabi Alonso is not messing about.

The Chelsea boss has gone very strong, making just four changes from the side that lost to Tottenham.

Danny Welbeck comes in to start up top, while Romeo Lavia, Malo Gusto and Wesley Fofana come in.

Jordan Henderson starts against his former side.

Andoni Iraola has rung the changes.

The Spaniard has made seven from the side that beat Brighton on Sunday afternoon.

Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, Ronald Araujo and Ryan Gravenberch are the four who keep their spots in the side.

Rio Ngumoha comes back in while Giorgi Mamardashvili starts in between the sticks.

The bench is very strong.

And here's the Brighton side.

Seven changes for them, I make it. Gross, Boscagli, Gomez and Ayari are those that keep their places from the Liverpool defeat.

Jack Hinshelwood is an exciting inclusion as he continues his return from injury, and young attacking midfielder Malick Yalcouye gets the nod too.

Georginio Rutter will lead the line.
