Antonio Conte has shuffled his side with the Blues chasing glory in the Premier League as well, with his team sitting just four points ahead of Spurs and facing Southampton on Tuesday.
Hazard and Costa are both on the bench for the Wembley clash, while Cahill is out with a kidney stone problem.
Tottenham are without Kyle Walker, who is one of the substitutes, but otherwise there are few surprises with Harry Kane leading the line, and Dele Alli in behind him.
Arsenal and Manchester City will contest the second semi-final on Sunday at 3pm.
CHELSEA: Courtois; Azpilicueta (c), David Luiz, Ake; Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Willian, Batshuayi, Pedro. Subs: Begovic, Zouma, Terry, Chalobah, Fabregas, Hazard and Diego Costa
TOTTENHAM: Lloris (C), Trippier, Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Wanyama, Dembele, Son, Eriksen, Dele, Kane. Subs: Lopez, Davies, Walker, Wimmer, Sissoko, Nkoudou, Janssen.
