Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has made four changes to the team that got pummeled at the hands of Bournemouth, for their home against Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

There are two changes in the backline for Chelsea going up against the Terriers, with Antonio Rudiger and Emerson Palmieri making way for Andreas Christensen and Marcos Alonso.

Ross Barkley gets the nod in the midfield for Chelsea, alongside Jorginho and N’Golo Kante, with Mateo Kovacic dropping to the bench.

There is one change in the attacking trident as well, with Willian coming in on the right flank in place of Pedro. January signing Gonzalo Higuain makes his second Premier League start, with star man Eden Hazard rounding up Chelsea’s attack.

Academy products Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are named among the substitutes.
