Chelsea v Middlesbrough line-ups confirmed: Antonio Conte suffers injury blow
DAVID LUIZ starts for Chelsea against Middlesbrough.
Wright: Chelsea could fast start treating Conte like Mourinho
The Brazilian defender was doubt due to a leg problem but is fit enough to keep his place in the team.
But N'Golo Kante misses out with thigh injury and is replaced by Cesc Fabregas in the only change.
Middlesbrough also make one switch with Adama Traore replacing Cristhian Stuani.
If Boro lose they will be relegated from the Premier League.
Chelsea team tonight: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill (c); Moses, Fabregas, Matic, Alonso; Pedro, Diego Costa, Hazard. #CHEMID
