Chelsea Confirmed Lineup vs PAOK: Two Defensive changes, Morata returns to starting lineup

Maurizio Sarri has made the changes expected of him as Chelsea take on PAOK in their first match of the UEFA Europa League.

Maurizio Sarri has made changes, albeit not as many as people had speculated. The defence sees a shuffle, with Antonio Rudiger and Marcos Alonso the only ones to retain their spot. Andreas Christensen comes in for David Luiz while Davide Zappacosta replaces Cesar Azpilicueta.

Ross Barkley comes in to complete the midfield three alongside Jorginho and N’Golo Kante. Eden Hazard asked for a rest and has been given one, with Pedro and Willian to support Alvaro Morata upfront.
