[Teams] Chelsea vs PAOK: Confirmed Line-Ups From Stamford Bridge

Chelsea will be looking to guarantee top spot in Group L when they take on PAOK Salonika in the Europa League at Stamford Bridge this evening. 

Mauricio Sarri has made wholesale changes to his starting eleven with his key men rested ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Fulham. Davide Zappacosta comes in for Cesar Azpilicueta at right-back while Emerson Palmeiri replaces Marcos Alonso on the left with Gary Cahill alongside Andreas Christensen in the middle of defence.

Cesc Fabregas gets a run-out in midfield while Olivier Giroud comes in for Alvaro Morata up front and Callum Hudson-Odoi gets a rare chance to impress in attack. Pedro also starts while Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ross Barkley start in midfield.

Here are the confirmed line-ups:
