Team News
Walsall have a fully fit squad to choose from. There is a possibility of Smith replacing top scorer Tom Bradshaw who limped off in Walsall's clash with Peterborough.
For Chelsea, Striker Diego Costa will not feature as he was handed a three-match ban on account of violent conduct by the FA following his scuffle with Arsenal defender Gabriel on Saturday. He was also seen brushing his hands twice across the face of Laurent Koscielny and eventually pushing him down to the ground but wasn't booked for it.
Gabriel stepped in to defend Koscielny and as a result got into a tussle with Costa and both of them were given yellow cards for the confrontation.
Later, Gabriel was sent off for flicking his foot at Costa. Arsenal appealed against the sending off and won it.
John Terry and Falcao will start as confirmed by Mourinho. Loftus-Cheek, Rahmann and Kennedy are also in contention to start.
