Kenedy and Saul Niguez are handed rare Chelsea starts for Wednesday's evening FA Cup fifth round tie at Luton Town.

On a night when Roman Abramovich has confirmed that he will sell Chelsea, a direct consequence of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Blues will attempt to move a step closer to another piece of silverware.

As expected, numerous changes have been made from the team which started the EFL Cup final defeat to Liverpool, with Kenedy finally being given minutes in the team after being kept at the club in January.

There is scope for the Brazilian to play at left-back or left wing-back, the latter being a possibility if Saul or Ruben Loftus-Cheek line up in a back three.

Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga returns to the starting lineup, as does Malang Sarr, while there is a rare start for Timo Werner in attack.

Youngsters Lewis Hall, Dylan Williams and Harvey Vale have all been handed places on the substitutes' bench.

Luton Town: Steer; Kioso, Burke, Lockyer, Potts, Bell; Berry, Osho; Mendes Gomes; Muskwe, Cornick
Subs: Isted, Bree, Naismith, Hylton, Snodgrass, Clark, Campbell, Thorpe, Jerome

Chelsea: Arrizabalaga; Hudson-Odoi, Rudiger, Sarr, Kenedy; Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Saul; Mount, Lukaku, Werner
