Kurt Zouma

Gary Cahill has looked shaky in recent games and was lucky to actually stay on the pitch against Hull.

Allowing Zouma the chance to get used to big games and first team action may well be the ideal way to prepare for an inevitable suspension or injury to one of Mourinho’s first choice pairing.

Add to that the fact that Zouma is improving all the time and there is really no reason not to include him on the odd occasion.
