Captain
John Terry is to be rested for Chelsea's FA Cup fourth-round tie with League
One Bradford on Saturday.
Kurt Zouma will start in defence in place of Terry, while Andre Schurrle
will also be in the first XI after Jose Mourinho dismissed reports of a move
for the World Cup winner.
Chelsea have no injury concerns and Mourinho plans to select a senior side
with some rotation ahead of Tuesday's Capital One Cup semi-final second leg
with Liverpool.
Ben Williams will take his place in goal for Bradford, with regular keeper
Jordan Pickford ineligible.
Phil Parkinson will have Billy Clarke available again after the striker
recovered from a knee problem and Andrew Davies should be fit to start at
the heart of the defence after shaking off a knock.
Andy Halliday and Francois Zoko both extended their deals with the League
One club until the end of the season and will be available and Chelsea old
boys Billy Knott and Filipe Morais will be hoping for starting spots.
