Chelsea duo Thiago Silva and N'Golo Kante drop down to the substitutes' bench for Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace.

Chelsea duo Thiago Silva and N'Golo Kante drop down to the substitutes' bench for Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace.

Both players started Tuesday's Champions League fixture at Real Madrid, Silva playing the full 120 minutes and Kante coming through 99 minutes.

Despite having four days of recuperation, the pair are only named on the substitutes' bench as Thomas Tuchel makes three changes to his first XI.

Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen and Jorginho are the players to come into the side, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek the other to miss out on a starting role.

Trevoh Chalobah does not feature among the replacements, but Romelu Lukaku comes back into the squad after two games out with an Achilles problem.

The winners of Sunday's fixture will take on Liverpool in the final after the Merseyside giants defeated Manchester City on Saturday.

Chelsea: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger; James, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso; Mount, Havertz, Werner
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Silva, Sarr, Kante, Loftus-Cheek, Saul, Pulisic, Ziyech, Lukaku

Crystal Palace: Butland; Ward, Guehi, Andersen, Mitchell; Schlupp, Kouyate, McArthur; Eze, Zaha, Mateta
Subs: Guaita, Clyne, Tomkins, Kelly, Milivojević, Olise, Ayew, Benteke, Edouard
