The Belgium international moves to centre forward in Antonio Conte’s side, with Willian and Pedro flanking him in a new-look attacking line-up.
There is no room for Michy Batshuayi, however, who remains on the bench in spite of Morata’s withdrawal due to a back injury.
Cesc Fabregas is another Blues substitute, with N’Golo Kante and Tiemoue Bakayoko preferred by Conte in the middle.
