Chelsea made big changes to their team last night, not least of all in goal.
Thibaut Courtois was missing not only from the first team, but also from the bench, with Willy Caballero stepping into the XI and Eduardo taking his place on the bench.
As promised by Antonio Conte, he makes six changes for tonight's game as Caballero, Christensen, Zappacosta, Willian, Morata and Pedro all start. Hazard is on the bench while Courtois isn't in the squad because of a back injury. #CFC

Just as with Alvaro Morata’s absence from the squad against Liverpool on Sunday, there was an initial wave of suspicion among the fans about what had happened, before an injury to the Belgian was confirmed.
There’s still not much information on how bad the issue is, and with any luck it’s just a precautionary move. But with the FA Cup final on the horizon, many Chelsea fans will be concerned about the health of their first choice stopper, and will be keeping their eyes peeled for updates.
