Eden Hazard has been ruled out of Chelsea's clash with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light with a knee injury.
Coach Antonio Conte revealed little about his injury telling Sky Sports News only: "Eden got a knock on his knee and now he is injured."
Willian comes in for the Belgium international with Cesc Fabregas also starting and replacing Nemanja Matic who is on the bench.
There is also another huge boost for the Blues with Kurt Zouma named as as substitute as he closes in on a return to first-team action.
David Moyes makes four changes to his side with John O'Shea returning to the team while there are also starts for Jan Kirchhoff, Adnan Januzaj and Fabio Borini.
Victory for Chelsea will see them extend their lead at the top of the table to six points.
Sunderland: Pickford, Kone, Djilobodji, O’Shea (c), Jones, Denayer, Kirchhoff, Van Aanholt, Borini, Defoe (c), Januzaj. Subs: Mannone, Larsson, Khazri, Love, Asoro, Maja, Honeyman.
Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill (c); Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso; Willian, Diego Costa, Pedro. Subs: Begovic, Ivanovic, Zouma, Chalobah, Matic, Loftus-Cheek, Batshuayi.
