New Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga starts in goal for the Blues' clash against Huddersfield Town this afternoon.

The Spaniard, signed for a world-record fee earlier this week, comes straight into Maurizio Sarri's team for their league opener.

In front of him, Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso are the full-backs, while Antonio Rudiger and David Luiz begin at centre-back.

Ross Barkley, who has featured for Chelsea during pre-season, begins in midfield alongside debutante Jorginho as Alvaro Morata, Pedro and Willian provide attacking threat up top.

Among the substitutes for Chelsea are England international Ruben Loftus-Cheek, as well as fellow World Cup stars Eden Hazard and Olivier Giroud.

For Huddersfield Town, Ben Hamer is selected between the sticks, while new signing Terence Kongolo, who made a loan move to the John Smith's Stadium permanent earlier this summer, is at centre-back.

Aaron Mooy and Alex Pritchard start in midfield alongside Jonathan Hogg, while Steve Mounie is a lone striker with Laurent Depoitre among the substitutes.

New arrivals Adama Diakhaby and Ramadan Sobhi could also be introduced from the bench.

Huddersfield Town: Hamer; Hadergjonaj, Schindler, Kongolo, Zanka; Mooy, Lowe, Pritchard, Hogg, Billing; Mounie
Subs: Lossl, Smith, Diakhaby, Ramadan, Van la Parra, Depoitre, Stankovic

Chelsea: Arrizabalaga; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso; Jorginho, Kante, Barkley; Willian, Pedro, Morata
