Morata arrived at Chelsea this summer from Real Madrid in a club record £60million deal but is yet to start for the Blues.
The Spain international came off the bench in the shock 3-2 defeat to Burnley last weekend to score and set up another - but he'll lead the line today in place of Michy Batshuayi.
While fellow summer signing Tiemoue Bakayoko, who cost £40m from Monaco, comes in to make his debut for the suspended Cesc Fabregas.
Andreas Christensen and Victor Moses also come in for the suspended Gary Cahill and Jeremie Boga.
