There is no doubt that Chelsea have an abundance of young talent coming through the ranks at the club.
With Frank Lampard at the helm, the belief of being able to break into the first team squad must be higher than it has been for many years.
Sunday brings another opportunity for a few of the academy lads to get a game, and some may even get handed a first-team debut.

These five players have been involved with first team training recently, suggesting that they could get called up for Sunday. Chelsea can name 9 subs and use 5 so there is a good chance for some minutes for all or some of these players if the result is going their way.
Lampard is likely to name..
Henry Lawrence
Probably one of the most likely ones to start being the most developed and experienced. The 19-year old has trained a lot with the first team this season and he can play in a number of positions at the back, full back, midfield, or on the wings.
Jude Soonsup-Bell
The 16-year old is the man of the moment, bursting onto the scene already playing in a much higher age group. He trained for the first time with the senior squad yesterday, suggesting he might come along on the bench and hopefully get some minutes.
Tino Livramento
Another massively rated player of the moment at Chelsea. There is a lot of hype surrounding Livramento and rightly so, he looks like the real deal. The 18-year old is a top full back and can also play on the wings.

Tino Anjorin
Along with Lawrence, I can see Anjorin starting having that little bit more experience than the rest of the lads. We have already seen bits of what he can do in the senior team, let’s hope to see more on Sunday.
Lewis Bate
Those who remember Dennis Wise will have similar throwbacks to me when I watch Bate. technically brilliant, fast, and very tough in the tackle. He has a slight chance of starting the game Sunday in his familiar defensive midfield role.
