Team News: Thibaut Courtois returns for Chelsea against Stoke City

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois recovers from injury to take his place in the Chelsea side for their Premier League match against Stoke City.

Thibaut Courtois has returned to the Chelsea starting XI for this evening's Premier League visit to Stoke City.

The keeper has missed the Blues' last two games with a muscular problem, but he has recovered to replace Petr Cech.

There are four other changes from the League Cup victory over Derby County, with Diego Costa, Willian, Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic all handed starts.

Meanwhile, Bojan Krkic is fit enough to start after picking up a knock last weekend, while Marc Muniesa has recovered from a hamstring problem and returns to the defence.

Stoke City: Begovic; Bardsley, Shawcross, Muniesa, Pieters; Cameron, Nzonzi; Walters, Bojan, Arnautovic; Crouch
Subs: Butland, Huth, Whelan, Wilson, Adam, Diouf, Assaidi

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Mikel, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Hazard; Costa
Subs: Cech, Filipe Luis, Zouma, Ake, Oscar, Schurrle, Drogba
