As expected it’s a 3-4-3 from Conte today, with Hazard getting a rest. Moses still unable to start, so it’s Zappacosta on the right.

The big surprise is iron-man Azpilicueta getting a rest — these will be the first Premier League minutes he’s not played under Antonio Conte!

Swansea are unchanged from their 0-0 draw with Bournemouth over the weekend.

COME ON, CHELSEA!
