Team News: Pedro in for injured Eden Hazard

Guus Hiddink brings in Pedro for the injured Eden Hazard in Chelsea's game against West Bromwich Albion.

Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink has made just one change to the side that beat Crystal Palace in the league last time out, bringing in Pedro for the injured Eden Hazard as the champions host West Bromwich Albion.

Thibaut Courtois, John Terry and John Obi Mikel were rested for the FA Cup victory over Scunthorpe United at the weekend but are back in the starting XI tonight as the Blues look to extend their unbeaten league run to five games.

Loic Remy returns to the bench from injury and is expected to play some part tonight.

For West Brom, Tony Pulis makes three changes as James McClean returns from suspension and Salomon Rondon starts in place of Rickie Lambert up front.

Jonas Olsson is also back in the side at centre-back, while once again Saido Berahino is forced to begin the 90 minutes on the bench.

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Azpilicueta; Mikel, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Pedro; Costa
Subs: Begovic, Cahill, Matic, Ramires, Kenedy, Loftus-Cheek, Remy

West Bromwich Albion: Myhill; Olsson, Yacob, Evans, Morrison, Brunt, McClean, McAuley, Fletcher, Dawson, Rondon
Subs: Foster; Chester, Gardner, Anichebe, Berahino, McManaman, Sessegnon
