After coming off the bench to make his return from injury against Crystal Palace on Sunday, Hazard is included in the travelling squad, along with Giroud, who missed the win over the Eagles.

Cesc Fabregas has a fever and has stayed in London.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who scored a hat-trick in the game against BATE at Stamford Bridge, has also travelled, while youngsters Marcin Bulka, Ethan Ampadu and Callum Hudson-Odoi, who celebrates his 18th birthday today, are included in the travelling party.
