Frank Lampard has named his starting eleven that will take on Man City in just under an hour in this afternoon’s Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have experienced a difficult run of results over the last month, winning only one of their last six games. They will be looking to get one over today’s opponents in the race for a top-four finish.
The Blues boss is once again without the injured Reece James who still has a small hamstring problem. Captain Cesar Azpilicueta comes in to take his place in what will be his 400th appearance for the Blues, Hakim Ziyech also makes a return to the starting line-up. As we predicted, Timo Werner will start in his natural position upfront.
Man City’s game against Everton was postponed last Monday due to COVID-19, they haven’t played since defeating Newcastle United 2-0 on Boxing day.
The full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Man City are below. (kick-off at 4:30pm GMT)
