Chelsea line-up: Hudson-Odoi dropped but could have Loftus-Cheek chance from bench against PAOK

Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri has dropped budding star Callum Hudson-Odoi team to face PAOK FC in the Blues first Europa League game but could give Ruben Loftus-Cheek chance from the bench.

The Premier League giants are currently involved in all competitions this season, as they remain unbeaten in the Premier League after five games. Against PAOK, Sarri has picked a strong starting 11 as he attempts to win his first official European game at the helm of the Blues.

The game kicks off at 4:55 pm GMT and the Blues official Twitter account revealed that Willian and Pedro will begin the game.

Marcos Alonso makes the team with Sarri not thinking Emerson is okay enough to start this game, while Cezar Apzpilicueta makes way for Davide Zappacosta on the right of defense.

Andreas Christensen steps in for David Luiz who did not travel with the squad while in midfield, only Ross Barkley comes in for Mateo Kovacic as the only change from the team that beat Cardiff last Saturday.
