Chelsea are keeping Eden Hazard and Ngolo Kante fresh for the Amex.
The Belgian forward and French midfielder are being rested for the game at MOL Vidi in Hungary tomorrow (5.55pm).
They are among several frontline players who miss the Europa League fixture.
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri (above) said: “I don’t know the starting XI.
“I decided the players that played for three matches in six days in the last week have to rest in this match.
“I am talking about Kepa, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Kante and Hazard.
“Then we have three injuries – Kovacic, Cahill and Moses. All the other players are here.”
Chelsea have already won the group and are expected to give youngsters Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ethan Ampadu a run out in Budapest.
Hazard could play as a false No.9 against Albion on Sunday, as he did in last Saturday’s win over Manchester City.
