Fixture: Stoke City vs Chelsea
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Chelsea have named their playing eleven and substitutes for this afternoon's Premier League meeting with Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium.

Antonio Conte's side arrive in the Potteries knowing that both Arsenal and Manchester United have failed to win at Stoke this season and anticipating a tough game.




Kurt Zouma, on loan at Stoke, cannot play against his former club, while the Blues are without the banned David Luiz.

Boss Conte picks Thibaut Courtois in goal and in defence the Italian selects Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger. Tiemoue Bakayoko lines up with N'Golo Kante in midfield, while Willian, Alvaro Morata and Pedro Rodriguez provide the attacking threat.

During the course of the 90 minutes Conte can look to his bench if needed and has a number of options, including Eden Hazard and Charly Musonda.
