TEAM NEWS
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard will have his full team as they will welcome the visitors to their stadium. Left-back Ben Chilwell is back after a minor injury setback and so is Billy Gilmour. The usual Premier league first XI that played against Tottenham is expected for the game but Oliver Giroud’s incredible individual performance has put the coach almost impossible to let him sit on the bench.
So, there is a high chance that Tammy Abraham may be benched to make way for Giroud whereas Thiago Silva will return again. Petr Cech is waiting for his first match since he broke his retirement and it is to be seen when he will get the chance again to put on the Blue jersey.
