John Terry returns as the skipper for Chelsea as the Blues host Brentford in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge
Antonio Conte has also handed starts to Asmir Begovic, Kurt Zouma, Nathaniel Chalobah, Michy Batshuayi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in a largely second-string side. Nathan Ake also makes his first appearance since returning to Stamford Bridge earlier this month.
Brentford, meanwhile, have a former Chelsea man starting for them, as Josh McEarchen returns to the club where he made waves as an academy product for several years.
Chelsea team today: Begovic; Zouma, Terry (c), Azpilicueta; Pedro, Chalobah, Fabregas, Ake; Willian, Batshuayi, Loftus-Cheek. #CFC
