TEAM NEWS: Hazard missing for Chelsea at Stoke City

Chelsea are without Eden Hazard for their latest Premier League clash against Stoke City.

Reports suggest the Belgium international has picked up a muscular injury and did not travel to Staffordshire with the Blues squad.

Hazard's absence means Pedro returns to the starting XI after being left out against Manchester United in the FA Cup.

Stoke City: Grant; Bardsley, Shawcross, Martins Indi, Pieters; Ramadan, Cameron, Allen, Arnautovic; Walters, Berahino

Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill; Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Willian, Diego Costa, Pedro
