Leeds United
Bamford has suggested that he will miss this game with a minor groin injury, although the forward has hinted that he could return before the end of the month.
Daniel James, who was sent off in the corresponding fixture last season, is likely to take his place in the attack, and that could prove to be the only change to the Leeds XI.
The likes of Junior Firpo, Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas all remain on the sidelines.
Leeds United possible starting lineup:
Meslier; Kristensen, Koch, Llorente, Struijk; Roca, Adams; Aaronson, Rodrigo, Harrison; James
Chelsea
N'Golo Kante is expected to be absent for a number of weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury against Spurs.
With Mateo Kovacic also likely to stay sidelined with a knee issue, either Ruben Loftus-Cheek or Conor Gallagher will feature in the Chelsea midfield.
Cesar Azpilicueta could return to the back three in order to allow James to return to wing-back, but Kai Havertz should retain his spot in attack with Armando Broja missing the game through a minor fitness issue.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Mendy; Azpilicueta, Silva, Koulibaly; James, Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Cucurella; Mount, Sterling; Havertz
Prediction: Leeds United 1-1 Chelsea
