Chelsea v Tottenham line-ups: Costa & Hazard on bench, youngster starts, Spurs man out
Diego Costa and Eden Hazard were both left on the bench for Chelsea’s FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham at Wembley.
Willian continues his record of starting in every FA Cup game so Pedro retains his place and Michy Batshuayi replaces Costa up front.
Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is fit having missed the defeat against Manchester United with an ankle injury, but centre-back Gary Cahill misses out.
Cahill is ruled out after being treated for gastroenteritis so Nathan Ake starts, while left wing-back Marcos Alonso is fit after a stomach bug
Tottenham are without regular FA Cup goalkeeper Michel Worm who has a knee injury, so Hugo Lloris plays.
Full-back Danny Rose also misses out because of a knee injury so Kieran Trippier plays. Harry Kane starts up front having recently returned from injury.
