Chelsea vs Huddersfield Town (Stamford Bridge)
Chelsea team news
Striker Alvaro Morata has shrugged off a knock and could start when Chelsea play Huddersfield at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
The Blues are seeking to sneak into the Premier League top four and Antonio Conte promised changes after Sunday's win over Liverpool, which Morata missed.
Willian, Pedro and Emerson Palmieri are among those who could come in, but defenders David Luiz (knee) and Ethan Ampadu (ankle) are out.
Chelsea provisional squad
Courtois, Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Fabregas, Drinkwater, Kante, Barkley, Morata, Hazard, Pedro, Bakayoko, Moses, Giroud, Zappacosta, Willian, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Palmieri, Eduardo.
Huddersfield team news
Tom Ince has recovered from injury and is available for Huddersfield's game at Chelsea.
The Terriers midfielder has missed the last three games due to a hamstring injury, but has returned to full training and is expected to feature.
Defenders Chris Lowe and Terence Kongolo will be monitored after sustaining knocks in Sunday's goalless draw at Manchester City, but are likely to be included in the squad.
Huddersfield provisional squad
Lossl, Kongolo, Schindler, Jorgensen, Hadergjonaj, Hogg, Mooy, Van La Parra, Pritchard, Ince, Quaner, Mounie, Malone, Depoitre, Billing, Coleman, Lowe, Stankovic.
