Alvaro Morata returns to the starting eleven, having recovered from his injury as Chelsea face AS Roma in Group C of the UEFA Champions League.
Antonio Conte will be glad to have his marksman back before a crucial chain of fixtures starting with the task at hand – the match against AS Roma in Group C of the UEFA Champions League. The Italian has also handed a start to Andreas Christensen and the youngster will be eager to put in another impressive shift.

It will be interesting to see how Marcos Alonso fares in the advanced position he has been deployed against AS Roma, which may provide Conte with more options going forward.
