Chelsea name a front three of Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk and Cole Palmer, with Nicolas Jackson on the bench.
Bukayo Saka and William Saliba both start for Arsenal, for whom David Raya continues in goal.
London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal will lock horns for the first time this season in the late Premier League kick-off on Saturday.
The Gunners trail Tottenham in top spot heading into the weekend, but since Spurs are not in action again until Monday, Mikel Arteta's men will climb to the summit of the standings if they win at Stamford Bridge.
The Gunners have won each of their last three visits to Chelsea's home stadium under Arteta – a fourth consecutive triumph would only strengthen the feeling that this could be the season in which Arsenal end their 20-year title drought.
Chelsea will have something to say about that. Back-to-back wins against Fulham and Burnley before the international break suggested that Mauricio Pochettino's side have finally turned a corner.
The Blues have a tricky run of fixtures coming up. This weekend's game marks the start of a run in which they must face seven of last season's top nine in succession. A win here would lift the mood ahead of that daunting run of assignments.
