Maurizio Sarri has finally decided to take action, with a misfiring Alvaro Morata being dropped in favour of Olivier Giroud as Chelsea face Cardiff.

Maurizio Sarri has decided not to change 10 of the 11 players from their winning run before the international break. The only change for Chelsea comes in the form of Alvaro Morata, who drops to the bench to make way for Olivier Giroud.

The Frenchman finally broke his duck for France during the international break and Sarri seems ready to finally give the striker a chance to prove himself as a worthy first-choice for Chelsea.

Pedro is set for his 100th appearance in the Premier League and will be hoping to commemorate it with a goal against Cardiff.
