John Terry will make his first league start for Chelsea in over a month against West Ham United at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

The club captain is one of three changes to the side which suffered defeat in the FA Cup sixth round at Everton last weekend.

Oscar replaces Nemanja Matic, who is included among the substitutes, and Loic Remy comes in for the suspended Diego Costa, who saw red late on at Goodison Park.

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic also makes three changes to his side following last week’s FA Cup 1-1 draw at Manchester United.

First-choice goalkeeper Adrian returns, while Enner Valencia and Diafra Sakho come in for Emmanuel Emenike and Andy Carroll respectively.

Line-ups

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Mikel, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Kenedy; Remy

Substitutes: Begovic, Baba, Matic, Loftus-Cheek, Pedro, Traore, Pato

West Ham: Adrian, Antonio, Reid, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Kouyate, Noble, Lanzini, Payet, Valencia, Sakho

Substitutes: Randolph, Oxford, O'Brien, Obiang, Song, Emenike, Carroll
