What is the team news?
Given the fact the Blues have already booked their place in the round of 16, Lampard could opt to ring in the changes.
The in-form Olivier Giroud – who has scored five goals in his last two outings – is expected to lead the line again.
£38million summer signing Hakim Ziyech will miss Tuesday’s match with a hamstring injury, which he suffered in Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Leeds last weekend.
Christian Pulisic, who has also struggled with injury this season, is expected to fill in for the Moroccan.

Chelsea – 2/7
