David Luiz has been named on the bench for Chelsea's trip to West Brom with Andreas Christensen keeping his starting place.

The Brazilian was left out of his side's 1-0 win over Manchester United but has returned amongst the substitutes for the Blues.

Antonio Conte has named the same starting line-up which defeated the Red Devils before the international break with Davide Zappacosta continuing at right wing-back.

Elsewhere, West Brom have made two changes from the side which lost 1-0 to Huddersfield in their last Premier League outing.
