Chelsea V Roma - Preview and possible line-ups
We take a look ahead to Wednesday's Champions League game between Chelsea and Roma at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea: It's mixed news for Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, striker Alvaro Morata could return from the hamstring injury that forced him to miss Satuday's loss against Cyrstal Palace, however the 'blues' boss will be without wing-back Victor Moses (hamstring) after he injured himself in the same game. Italian Davide Zappacosta is expected to replace the Nigerian international for Chelsea, who will also be without midfielders N'Golo Kante (also hamstring) and Danny Drinkwater (calf). In the absence of the pair, Conte could opt to play David Luiz in a midfield role.
Roma: The 'Giallorossi' welcome back key pair Kevin Strootman and Stephan El Shaarawy after they missed the weekend's defeat by Napoli, though they will have to make do without the services of Gregoire Defrel (thigh), Emerson (knee), Kostas Manolas (thigh), Abdullahi Nura (also thigh) and Patrik Schick (hamstring).
Did you know? Roma have won only one of their 15 away games in England (W1,D5,L9).

Chelsea: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, Zappacosta, Luiz, Fabregas, Bakayoko, Alonso, Hazard, Morata.
