Olivier Giroud once again spearheads Chelsea's attack as they look to take a first leg advantage in their Europa League last 16 tie against Slavia Prague.
The France international has nine goals in seven starting appearances in this competition this season and while opportunities in the Premier League remain limited, he has been Maurizio Sarri's go-to man in European competition.
Callum Hudson-Odoi misses out altogether, but that could mean the 18-year-old winger is handed a big role against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
Eden Hazard has played just 117 minutes in this competition this season and is once again on the bench, as is Gonzalo Higuain.
Andreas Christensen, another to have featured regularly on Thursday nights, returns to the starting XI after recently declaring his intention to stay and fight for his place at Stamford Bridge.
