Chelsea’s manager Frank Lampard has confirmed his starting line-up for this afternoon’s FA Cup game against league two side Morecambe.
There’s a rare start for Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal, this gives Edouard Mendy a much-needed break.
Cesar Azpilicueta starts for the third game in a row and Emerson gets the nod coming in to replace Ben Chilwell. Antonio Rudiger comes in to replace Thiago Silva at the heart of the Blues defence and is joined by ever-present Kurt Zouma.
Kai Havertz, Mason Mount and Billy Gilmour make up the three in midfield. In attack, Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi will play on the flanks while Timo Werner starts up top for the second game in a row.
Marcel Lewis, Tino Livramento, Jude Soonsup-Bell and Lewis Bate who had trained with the first team this week have not been included.
Here’s how some Blues fans reacted to the line-up on Twitter.
