Chelsea Confirmed Lineup vs Atletico Madrid: Hazard receives elusive start, Morata upfront

Eden Hazard has finally been handed a place in the starting lineup as Chelsea visit the Wanda Metropolitano to take on Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.

The Belgian attacker will line up alongside Alvaro Morata up front, with Antonio Conte dishing out a 3-5-2 formation. The shored up midfield has Tiemoue Bakayoko, N’Golo Kante and Cesc Fabregas starting together.

Meanwhile, Victor Moses has kept his place in the starting lineup, meaning Davide Zappacosta has to suffice with a place on the bench.

For Atletico Madrid, former Chelsea striker Fernando Torres starts on the bench, as does club captain Gabi, with Diego Godin receiving the armband from Diego Simeone.
