GK: Thibaut Courtois
The Belgian is likely to return in goal for Chelsea, despite Petr Cech making some crucial saves and keeping a clean sheet against Everton.
RB: Branislav Ivanovic
As well as defending as solidly as ever, Ivanovic has been in great form at the other end of the pitch lately – scoring the winning goal in two of Chelsea’s last four games. The Serbian is set to keep his place for the fifth successive game.
CB: Kurt Zouma
The 20-year-old has impressed since he was selected for the Chelsea first team and is likely to remain in the team with Gary Cahill once again consigned to the bench.
CB: John Terry
The skipper is forming a formidable partnership with Zouma at the heart of the defence. And with two goals already in this season’s competition, he will definitely be looking to make his presence felt from set-pieces.
