West Brom v Chelsea line-ups: Blues unchanged, Luiz and youngster on bench, Baggies pair out


Chelsea have named an unchanged side for the visit to West Bromwich Albion – but defender David Luiz is back in the squad.

The Brazilian had been axed for the 1-0 win over Manchester United prior to the international break. However, he is among the substitutes at the Hawthorns, with 17-year-old Ethan Ampadu again also on the bench.

Michy Batshuayi, Charly Musonda and Victor Moses are all missing due to injury but Danny Drinkwater is fit despite pulling out of England selection.

West Brom’s Nacer Chadli and James Morrison have been ruled out with hip and Achilles injuries respectively.

Former QPR wideman Matty Phillips comes into the side, along with Soloman Rondon.

West Brom: Foster; McAuley, Hegazi, Evans; Phillips, Krychowiak, Barry, Livermore, Gibbs; Rondon, Rodriguez.
Subs: Myhill, Yacob, Brunt, Robson-Kanu, McClean, Nyom, Burke.

Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Cahill; Zappacosta, Fabregas, Kante, Bakayoko, Alonso; Hazard; Morata.
Subs: Caballero, Rudiger, Ampadu, Luiz, Drinkwater, Pedro, Willian.
