Diego Costa and Eden Hazard start on the bench for Chelsea as they face Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Diego Costa and Eden Hazard start on the bench for Chelsea as they face Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-finals of the FA Cup at Wembley this evening.

Manager Antonio Conte opts for a front three of Willian, Michy Batshuayi and Pedro as he makes five changes from the 2-0 defeat to Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.

Thibaut Courtois returns between the sticks following an ankle injury, behind a back three of Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz and Nathan Ake.

Conte's four-man midfield is populated by Victor Moses, N'Golo Kante, Nemanja Matic and the fit-again Marcos Alonso, while options on the bench include John Terry, Cesc Fabregas and Kurt Zouma.

Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino opts for a strong lineup, meanwhile, making just two changes from the side that swept aside Bournemouth 4-0 a week ago.

That means a start for Harry Kane up front, with an intact attacking trio of Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min in support.

Kieran Trippier earns a recall at right-back, joining up with Eric Dier, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen ahead of skipper Hugo Lloris, with Kyle Walker and Ben Davies dropping to the bench.

Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Ake; Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Willian, Batshuayi, Pedro
Subs: Begovic, Zouma, Terry, Chalobah, Fabregas, Hazard, Diego Costa

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Trippier, Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen; Wanyama, Dembele; Son, Eriksen, Dele; Kane
Subs: Lopez, Davies, Walker, Wimmer, Sissoko, Nkoudou, Janssen
