Eden Hazard will miss Chelsea's Premier League clash with Sunderland after failing to recover from a knock in the win over West Bromwich Albion.

The Belgian star did not travel with Antonio Conte's squad to the Stadium of Light, as Willian takes his place in the starting lineup.

Oscar, who has dismissed rumours of a move to China, remains sidelined with a virus.

For Sunderland, Jan Kirchoff makes his first start in two and a half months since recovering from a hamstring injury.

David Moyes is without midfielder Didier Ndong, who serves a one-match ban after picking up five yellow cards.

Sunderland: Pickford, Kone, Djilobodji, O'Shea, Jones, Denayer, Kirchhoff, Van Aanholt, Borini, Defoe, Januzaj
Subs: Mannone, Larsson, Khazri, Love, Asoro, Maja, Honeyman

Chelsea: Courtois, Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill, Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso, Willian, Diego Costa, Pedro
Subs: Begovic, Ivanovic, Zouma, Chalobah, Matic, Loftus-Cheek, Batshuayi
