DC) Gary Cahill
Cahill and Terry is the first-choice partnership in central defence, so David Luiz has had to be content with a spot on the bench or in defensive midfield. If the two Englishman are fit, they should start.
DL) Cesar Azpilicueta
The Spanish fullback has displaced veteran Ashley Cole on the left of Chelsea’s first-choice back four, and should return to the lineup after Cole played against Stoke in the FA Cup.
MC) Nemanja Matic
The £21m January signing was exceptional against Stoke during his full debut, and will likely retain his place in the anchorman role.
