Hiddink makes three changes from Saturday, Kurt Zouma coming in for Cahill (who's not even on the bench!?), Mikel for the Fabregas who's ill, and Hazard for Costa who's suspended.  Young Traoré on the bench is the only striker in the matchday squad, though our front four will no doubt take it in turns to approximate one as well just as they did earlier this season.

UP THE CHELS!
