Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has named a strong starting line-up for the FA Cup third round tie against Morecambe at Stamford Bridge.

In defence, Reece James will make his first start since returning from injury at right-back.

Tosin Adarabioyo and Axel Disasi make up the central defence with Renato Veiga at left-back.

The Blues are set to play with a solitary holding midfielder in Romeo Lavia. He is likewise back from injury and will be partnered by Joao Felix.

Pedro Neto starts on the right wing with Tyrique George on the opposite flank.

Christopher Nkunku will feature in the no.10 role with Marc Guiu up front.

Confirmed Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1): Jorgensen; James, Disasi, Tosin, Veiga; Lavia, Felix; Neto, Nkunku, George; Guiu.
