Chelsea v Roma: Morata starts

Alvaro Morata starts for Chelsea in the Champions League clash at Stamford Bridge, as does Davide Zappacosta.

Zappaocosta comes in for the injured Victor Moses, while Morata’s return from a hamstring problem means Michy Batshuayi drops to the bench.

Chelsea’s other substitutes include Pedro, Willian and academy product Kyle Scott, who is included in the squad because of the absence of the injured N’Golo Kante.

With Andreas Christensen also in the side, it appears Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has decided to change formation or to deploy David Luiz in midfield.

Chelsea start the match top of Group C with six points – two more than Roma – and a win or even a draw would be a big step towards the knockout stage. 

Chelsea: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Cahill, David Luiz, Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Fabregas, Alonso, Hazard, Morata.
Subs: Caballero, Rudiger, Scott, Kenedy, Pedro, Willian, Batshuayi.

Roma: Alisson, Peres, Fazio, Jesus, Kolarov, Nainggolan, Gonalons, Strootman, Gerson, Dzeko, Perotti.
