Fixture: Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest
Competition: EFL Cup
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)

Chelsea have announced their team and substitutes to host Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge in an EFL Cup tie this evening.

The Blues want to make their way through to the fourth round and also return to winning ways after being held to a draw by Arsenal in league action at the weekend.




Chelsea manager Antonio Conte hands Eden Hazard his first start of the season after three substitute appearances, but Danny Drinkwater remains out with a calf injury.

Conte goes with Willy Caballero in goal, while Gary Cahill wears the captain's armband. Tiemoue Bakayoko is handed a start, as is Kenedy, while Charly Musonda also plays. Michy Batshuayi will look to be a goal threat.

If the Chelsea manager needs to make changes then he can look to his bench and Alvaro Morata, with Willian another option.

 


Chelsea Team vs Nottingham Forest

Caballero, Rudiger, Christensen, Cahill, Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Fabregas, Kenedy, Musonda, Batshuayi, Hazard
