Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has made seven changes to his side ahead of their FA Cup fifth-round trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.

Thibaut Courtois, Marcos Alonso, Gary Cahill, Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz, N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic are out of the starting XI from their 1-1 draw at Burnley last week.

The attacking quartet of Pedro, Diego Costa, Victor Moses and Eden Hazard survive the cut, while Asmir Begovic, Nathan Ake, Kurt Zouma, Cesc Fabregas, Nathaniel Chalobah, Willian and club captain John Terry are drafted in.

Wolves boss Paul Lambert, meanwhile, has made five changes from the side which lost 1-0 to Wigan Athletic on Tuesday.

Out go Richard Stearman, Lee Evans, Connor Ronan, Ben Marshall and Bright Enobakhare, while Conor Coady, Kortney Hause, George Saville, Jack Price and Andreas Weimann come in.

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Ikeme, Coady, Batth, Hause, Doherty, Price, Saville, Costa, Edwards, Weimann, Bodvarsson Subs: Burgoyne, Stearman, Evans, Saiss, Ronan, Enobakhare, Gibbs-White
