What is the team news, who is injured and suspended?

Defender David Luiz completes his three-match domestic suspension for his dismissal against Arsenal, with Andreas Christensen poised to deputise.
Midfielder Danny Drinkwater (calf) is the only definite injury absentee.
Provisional squad: Courtois, Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Fabregas, Kante, Morata, Hazard, Pedro, Bakayoko, Moses, Kenedy, Musonda, Zappacosta, Willian, Batshuayi, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Clarke-Salter, Scott, Eduardo.
City will be without Sergio Aguero for Saturday's trip to west London after the striker suffered rib injuries in a car crash on Thursday.
Left-back Benjamin Mendy is a long-term casualty after rupturing an anterior cruciate ligament in last week's 5-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace.
Captain Vincent Kompany, who has missed the last six games, remains on the sidelines with a calf injury.
Provisional squad: Ederson, Bravo, Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Mangala, Danilo, Delph, Toure, Gundogan, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Sterling, Sane, D Silva, B Silva, Foden, Diaz, Jesus.
What's our prediction?
Manchester City have scored five goals or more in their last three Premier League games, so Chelsea’s first task will be to stop them. But, having beaten Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, Chelsea can lay down an early title marker by inflicting City’s first Premier League defeat.
Prediction: Chelsea 2 Manchester City 1
