Fixture: Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea
Competition: Champions League
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)

Chelsea have named their starting eleven and substitutes to play Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano in the Champions League this evening.

Antonio Conte's side thrashed Qarabag in their opening match at Stamford Bridge and the Italian tactician will want his side to make sure they avoid defeat in Spain and if possible return to London with all three points.




Conte continues to be without summer signing Danny Drinkwater through injury, however boasts a fully fit squad otherwise.

He names former Atletico Madrid player Thibaut Courtois in goal, with the back three picked by Conte being Cesar Azpilizueta, David Luiz and Gary Cahill. N'Golo Kante and Tiemoue Bakayoko will look to dominate in midfield, with Marcos Alonso and Victor Moses the wing-backs. Cesc Fabregas plays, while Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata are also selected.

If the Italian needs to make changes then he can look to his bench and call for Willian, while Pedro Rodriguez is another option.
