On Tuesday, the Blues were required to submit their new squad lists for both the Premier League and Champions League, which have different roster regulations. Premier League rules limit squad size to just 25 senior players, though a club can name as many U21 players to the squad as they choose. Eight of the 25 senior roster spots are reserved for 'homegrown' players, who have spent three or more seasons playing with English or Welsh sides before they lose U21 status.

The Premier League squad includes the following, with U21 players in italics:

Petr Cech, Branislav Ivanovic, Filipe Luis, Cesc Fabregas, Ramires, Oscar, Eden Hazard, Didier Drogba, John Mikel Obi, Thibaut Courtois, Loic Remy, Diego Costa, Nemanja Matic, Willian, Juan Cuadrado, Gary Cahill, John Terry, Cesar Azpilicueta, Kurt Zouma, Nathan Ake, Andreas Christensen, Jeremie Boga, Mitchell Beeney, Dominic Solanke, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Isaiah Brown, Jamal Blackman
