Akpom had to be substituted in the first half of Arsenal XI's 5-1 win over Leyton Orient on Tuesday due to injury, and is set for a spell on the sidelines.
Arsenal number seventeen Alex Iwobi is expected to get some minutes against the Premier League champions, while Kelechi Nwakali has not been registered and will definitely not feature.
Chelsea's right wing-backs Victor Moses and Fikayo Tomori are in good physical condition and available for selection.
