Alvaro Morata returns to the starting lineup for Chelsea as the Blues host Brighton & Hove Albion on Boxing Day.
Antonio Conte reinstates a natural forward upfront, with Alvaro Morata returning to full fitness. But, the match also sees Conte revert to a 3-5-2 with Eden Hazard the other striker and three midfielders – Fabregas, Bakayoko, Kante – to provide more stability.
