Romelu Lukaku is recalled to the Chelsea starting lineup for Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final tie at Middlesbrough.

Romelu Lukaku has been recalled to the Chelsea starting lineup for Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final tie at Middlesbrough.

The Belgium international, whose only other start in a month came in the previous round against Luton Town, will lead an attack which also includes Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic.

Head coach Thomas Tuchel has switched back to a 4-3-3 formation, bringing in Malang Sarr to occupy the left-back position in place of Marcos Alonso.

Having only played 45 minutes against Lille on Wednesday night, Mateo Kovacic keeps his spot in midfield, but Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been handed a recall.

With Kepa Arrizabalaga not featuring in the squad, goalkeeper Edouard Mendy retains his place, but Reece James, Andreas Christensen and Callum Hudson-Odoi all miss out through injury.

Jorginho has been rested by Tuchel, with the likes of Kenedy, Ross Barkley and Harvey Vale all featuring among the replacements.

Middlesbrough: Lumley, Dijskteel, Fry, McNair, Jones, Crooks, Howson, Tavernier, Taylor, Connolly, Balogun
Subs: Daniels, Hall, Olusanya, Peltier, Watmore, Bamba, Bola, Coburn, Boyd-Munce

Chelsea: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Silva, Rudiger, Sarr; Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Mount; Ziyech, Lukaku, Pulisic
Subs: Bettinelli, Alonso, Kenedy, Chalobah, Kante, Barkley, Havertz, Vale, Werner
