Team News
Frank Lampard is almost able to choose from a full squad with Ngolo Kante returning to action against Man City.
Teenage winger Callum Hudson-Odoi missed the trip on Saturday with a hamstring problem and will be a doubt to recover in time for the trip to Spain.
Midfielder Ross Barkley has also struggled with injury of late and was forced to pull out of the England squad with an ankle problem, so he is not expected to make the 18-man squad.
Antonio Rudiger and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are still out but are closing in on a return to action, while Marco van Ginkel has only just returned to outside training.
For Vicente Esquerdo's side, they face missing a couple of their key players through injury.
The likes of Dennis Cheryshev, Francis Coquelin, and Geoffrey Kondogbia are a few players who are doubtful to return in time for this game.
Predicted line-ups
Chelsea's predicted starting XI (4-3-3): Kepa; James, Zouma, Tomori, Azpilicueta; Kante, Jorginho, Mount; Willian, Abraham, Pulisic.
Valencia's predicted starting XI (4-4-2): Cillessen; Costa, Mangala, Paulista, Gaya; Torres, Wass, Parejo, Vallejo; Rodrigo, Gomez.
Head to Head
Chelsea have an impressive record against the Spanish side, beating Valencia three times and drawing the other three meetings.
However, they lost 1-0 at home in matchday one and know it will be a tall order to take all three points from the Mestalla this season.
