Yep, that's a second straight start for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and with four youth players out of seven making up the substitutes it's difficult to imagine us not having as least some more minutes going to younger players by the end of the day. Also, Diego Costa is back. We've missed you, buddy.

UP THE BLUES!
