Edouard Mendy missed the Southampton draw through injury.

Thiago Silva returns to the centre of defence, in place of Andreas Christensen, while Reece James returns at right back in place of club captain Cesar Azpilicueta.

Lampard's front four from the Southampton game remains the same with Timo Werner leading the line, Kai Havertz behind him and Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount out wide. Hakim Ziyech is on the bench.

Lampard will be hoping for an improved defensive performance having complained about his players' game management at the weekend. "We need to make sure those lessons are learned quickly and the players have been made very aware of that," the head coach said yesterday.

As for what Chelsea learnt from last season's Champions League, in which they were battered twice by eventual champions Bayern Munich having lost their opening group game to Valencia, Lampard added: “Getting through the group was also difficult for us last year, having lost the first game, and so we needed to show a lot of discipline to get through hard matches away at Ajax and Lille so hopefully there’s a lot that the players have learned from that experience.

Chelsea: Edouard Mendy; Reece James, Kurt Zouma, Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell; N'Golo Kante, Jorginho; Christian Pulisic, Kai Havertz, Mason Mount; Timo Werner

Buhari lists achievements, silent on Lekki Tollgate killings

President Muhammadu Buhari has listed the things his government had achieved, their plans for the welfare of Nigerians and security, but said nothing about the Lekki Tollgate killing of peaceful #EndSARS protesters by soldiers in Lagos on Tuesday. The President made the enumeration during his much-anticipated address, following the killings of protesters, the activities of hoodlums and general crisis snowballing from the agitation by youths for police brutality to end. Recall that the high point of the protests was when military men opened fire on  peaceful national anthem-singing and Nigerian flags-waving #EndSARS protesters on Tuesday night , after lights went off and CCTV cameras were taken off at the Lekki Tollgate, Lagos, which had been the major gathering ground for the protesters. Reading from a prepared speech Thursday night , Buhari said: “Both our deeds and words have shown how committed this administration has been to the well-being and welfare of citizens, even with the...
