Chelsea starting lineup: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Silva, Chilwell, Jorginho, Kovacic, Mount, Hudson-Odoi, Werner, Abraham

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic misses out, but should be fit to face Tottenham on Sunday.

The USA international has been sidelined for a month with a hamstring injury and will not travel to Rennes for tonight’s Champions League fixture.

Lampard said: “Pulisic is staying back, he doesn’t travel, but he’s had a good progression and will hopefully be fit for selection at the weekend and onwards.”

Kai Havertz and Thiago Silva, who sat out the weekend win at Newcastle, both start after returning to the squad.
