Estevao scored on his first Chelsea appearance as they beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 on Friday and the 18-year-old will feature against AC Milan at Stamford Bridge.

Cole Palmer should get the nod from the off after being withdrawn at half-time against Leverkusen. Marc Cucurella, Moises Caicedo and Trevoh Chalobah were also given 45 minutes on Friday.

Filip Jorgensen played all 90 minutes, so Robert Sanchez is expected to come in. Gabriel Slonina will likely be on the bench.

Substitutes Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Reece James, and Pedro Neto will be looking to start after limited minutes against Leverkusen.

Captain Enzo Fernandez was the only outfield player to remain on the bench on Friday, so will surely start.

Chelsea predicted XI: Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Tosin, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo, Gittens, Palmer, Neto, Joao Pedro
