Team News: Thibaut Courtois returns to Chelsea starting XI for Bournemouth clash

Courtois returns to Chelsea XI

Antonio Conte has made four changes to his Chelsea starting XI ahead of Wednesday night's Premier League meeting with Bournemouth.

Thibaut Courtois comes back in between the sticks, having missed the last four games due to an ankle problem, with Willy Caballero dropping to the bench.

Cesar Azpilicueta, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Ross Barkley start in place of Antonio Rudiger, Danny Drinkwater and Michy Batshuayi, who has left for Borussia Dortmund.

Bournemouth, who have not played in 11 days since their 1-1 draw with West Ham United, make just one change, with Adam Smith dropping out and Junior Stanislas coming into the XI.

Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Cahill, Zappacosta; Kante, Bakayoko; Alonso, Barkley, Hazard; Pedro Subs: Caballero, Rudiger, Ampadu, Drinkwater, Moses, Fabregas, Hudson-Odoi

Bournemouth: Begovic; Daniels, Ake, Cook, Francis; Fraser, Cook, Stanislas, Gosling, Ibe; Wilson Subs: Boruc, Simpson, Surman, Arter, Pugh, King, Mousset
