Team News: David Luiz, Michy Batshuayi start for Chelsea

Luiz, Batshuayi start for Chelsea

David Luiz and Michy Batshuayi have both been handed starting roles in Chelsea's FA Cup third-round replay with Norwich City.

Luiz has barely featured since the start of December and Batshuayi continues to be linked with a move away from the Blues, but the pair are given the chance to impress on Wednesday night.

There is also another start for teenager Ethan Ampadu, while Willy Caballero and Kenedy, as expected, come in for Thibaut Courtois and Marcos Alonso respectively.

Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata both feature among the substitutes, as do youngsters Dujon Sterling and Charly Musonda.

Norwich make just one change to the team which defeated Bristol City at the weekend, with Harrison Reed coming into the starting lineup to replace Alexander Tettey.

The winners of this fixture will progress through to host Newcastle United in the last 32.

Chelsea: Caballero; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Ampadu; Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Kenedy; Willian, Batshuayi, Pedro Subs: Eduardo, Christensen, Sterling, Kante, Musonda, Hazard, Morata

Norwich City: Gunn; Pinto, Zimmermann, Hanley, Klose; Lewis, Vranic, Reed, Maddison, Murphy; Oliveira Subs: McGovern, Husband, Hoolahan, Stiepermann, Raggett, Tettey, Cantwell
