Confirmed Chelsea line up vs Noah

The head coach has opted to make full use of his squad in the cup competitions this season, and that policy continues at Stamford Bridge for the visit of the Armenian side.

Maresca has made two alterations to the team that started at Newcastle last Wednesday. As well as the selection of 18-year-old George from the off, Marc Guiu returns to the side. It is his first start since the two qualifiers in this competition against Servette.

Marc Cucurella and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are the players to drop out from that League Cup defeat on Tyneside.

That means Filip Jorgensen is in goal. The defence comprises of Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile and Renato Veiga.

Captain Enzo Fernandez continues in midfield with Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk and Christopher Nkunku all offering attacking options alongside George and Guiu.
