Michy Batshuayi could also be in contention for a rare appearance after spending much of this season on the periphery of the first-team, with Conte clearly unconvinced by Costa on recent form.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the Blues boss is also ready to change his system slightly by fielding Hazard as a false nine, which worked to good effect against Leicester City in the Premier League earlier in the season.

It could be a much-changed line up in general, with Conte also facing a selection headache as he considers replacing the injured Gary Cahill with either John Terry or youngster Nathan Ake.
