Chelsea, on the other hand, will be aiming to win two straight games after defeating Leicester City 2-1 at home on Saturday.
The Blues have earned seven points from their first four games, placing them in sixth place overall. If they win tonight, they could move up to fifth if Leeds United loses their game.
The Blues are predicted to win tonight’s game, despite the fact that it is anticipated to be a difficult contest.

Mendy; James; Silva; Koulibaly; Loftus-Cheek; Kovacic; Jorginho; Cucurella; Mount; Sterling; and Havertz might be in the starting lineup.
