Third-choice goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli features in a strong Chelsea XI against Chesterfield in the FA Cup third round.

Third-choice goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli has been selected in a strong Chelsea XI against Chesterfield in the FA Cup third round.

Having signed on a free transfer in the summer, Bettinelli finally makes his first appearance in a Blues shirt, but Thomas Tuchel has selected plenty of high-profile names in his starting lineup for the game against the National League outfit.

In what appears to be a 4-3-3 formation, Christian Pulisic, Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner head the attack, with Hakim Ziyech featuring alongside Mateo Kovacic and Saul Niguez.

Academy player Lewis Hall is provided with his senior debut at left-back, and Callum Hudson-Odoi has been deployed on the opposite flank.

Andreas Christensen has shaken off a back injury to take his place alongside Malang Sarr, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek should get some minutes off the substitutes' bench.

Youngsters Xavier Simons, Charlie Webster and Harvey Vale have also been named among the replacements, with long-serving Lewis Baker potentially in line for his first Blues outing for just over eight years.

Chelsea: Bettinelli; Hudson-Odoi, Christensen, Sarr, Hall; Ziyech, Kovacic, Saul; Pulisic, Lukaku, Werner
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Simons, Baker, Barkley, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Webster, Havertz, Vale
