Team News: Pedro to make Chelsea debut, Kurt Zouma starts over Gary Cahill

Pedro is named in Chelsea's starting XI to face West Bromwich Albion this afternoon, while Kurt Zouma starts in defence as Gary Cahill drops to the bench.

Pedro has been named in Chelsea's starting XI to face West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns this afternoon, replacing Ramires, who does not make the bench.

Gary Cahill has been replaced by Kurt Zouma in defence, while Cesar Azpilicueta and Branislav Ivanovic continue as full-backs.

Boss Jose Mourinho has named youngsters Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Bertrand Traore on the bench, alongside strikers Falcao and Loic Remy.

Hosts West Brom have made three changes to the team that started against Watford last weekend, with record signing Salomon Rondon preferred to Rickie Lambert up front.

Former Wigan Athletic wingers James McClean and Callum McManaman start, as Craig Gardner drops to the bench and Saido Berahino misses out.
