Chelsea assistant manager Steve Holland said the Premier League leader would continue utilizing its whole squad after moving clear at the summit by beating Newcastle United 2-0 on Saturday.
Manager Jose Mourinho opted to bring in centerback Kurt Zouma for his first league start while Petr Cech replaced the injured Thibaut Courtois in the Blues' goal.
The win allowed Chelsea to move two points clear after Manchester City could only draw 1-1 at Everton.
