Chelsea face West Brom at the Hawthorns in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
Antonio Conte has picked the very similar side compared to the one against Manchester United before the international break. Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata start upfront, while Cesc Fabregas – who was in top form against Jose Mourinho’s side, starts just ahead of N’Golo Kante and Tiemoue Bakayoko in midfield.
Meanwhile, Marcos Alonso and Davide Zappacosta serve as today’s wing-backs. Conte has confirmed that Victor Moses is getting closer to his return from a serious hamstring injury, but will have to wait until next week to make his comeback in safe terms.
After having been dropped for the United game, David Luiz returns to the Chelsea line-up, now starting the game from the bench. Cesar Azpilicueta and Gary Cahill are playing as the two other centre-backs with Andreas Christensen in the middle. Thibaut Courtois naturally starts between the sticks.
Here are the full line-ups for West Brom vs Chelsea (kick off at 15:00 pm GMT):
