It's no real surprise Hazard is missing today, with Maurizio Sarri all-but confirming it already midweek.
Speaking ahead of the 3-1 win over BATE Borisov in the Europa League, Sarri revealed: "He is out [for Thursday's game] for sure.
"He has a back problem. We are trying to sort the problem for Sunday."
Meanwhile, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, fresh from his hat-trick heroics in Europe, is back on the bench for the Premier League clash.
Ross Barkley gets the nod in midfield alongside N'Golo Kante and Jorginho after his 96th-minute leveller against United last weekend.
Pedro and Willian flank Alvaro Morata in attack, while it's the usual back-four for the Blues.
All-in-all, Sarri has made EIGHT changes from the team who comfortably saw off BATE as they aim to continue their solid form.
Chelsea sit third in the Premier League going into the 1.30pm clash at Turf Moor.
The Blues are five points adrift of league-leading Liverpool with a game in hand and could leapfrog Manchester City into second with a win.
