Chelsea starting team confirmed: Hazard starts as Sarri selects strong side to face Slavia

Chelsea take on Slavia Prague tonight in the Europa League quarter-final second leg as they continue their quest to reach Baku for the final.

The Blues are going into tonight's game with a 1-0 advantage thanks to Marcos Alonso's late goal in the Czech Republic, but the tie is certainly not over with Slavia being the better of the two teams.

Alonso is not part of the squad for the second game, however, with the Spaniard missing training yesterday, being one of three defenders who did not take part of the session.

Antonio Rudiger is also out of the game after the knee injury that he picked up during the 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday afternoon, with Ethan Ampadu also struggling with back problems.

There were some questions on how strong Maurizio Sarri would make his Chelsea side tonight, with Burnley at home on Monday evening.

Here is how Chelsea line up this evening.

Chelsea: Kepa, Emerson, Luiz, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Kovacic, Kante, Barkley, Hazard, Pedro, Giroud.

Subs: Caballero, Cahill, Jorginho, Zappacosta, Higuain, Hudson-Odoi, Willian.
