MATCH PREVIEW

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has confirmed he will make changes tonight, with both Kepa Arrizabalaga and Billy Gilmour confirmed to start.

Asked about his hopes for this dead rubber clash, Lampard said: “Certainly no injuries, and some minutes for people who have not played as much as they would want in the squad, to show they deserve to play more.

“Gain a bit more match fitness. After Seville I certainly couldn’t complain. It was a fantastic performance from the team and the squad.

“So I just want to see that carried on. It’s not something that we can switch on and off, the idea that we must win and be successful.

“So I want to see the right attitude and how we approach the game, to be successful.”

Chelsea are already confirmed as Group E winners even if Sevilla beat Rennes, courtesy of their superior head-to-head record against the Spaniards.

Lampard added of Arrizabalaga: “Like I said about the group as a whole, it’s about attitude and how we approach the game.

“Of course Kepa’s situation is slightly different, because the goalkeepers have to be patient when they’re not starting games.

“And generally obviously with Edou’s form he’s been a very regular pick for me. But of course for this game it’s a game for Kepa, who’s training brilliantly well, acting brilliantly well.

“These periods will happen in players’ careers, and sometimes they will make you stronger and better at the other end. So I’ve got no qualms about putting him back in.

“I’m very pleased with Kepa. His reaction has been spot-on.”

On the returning Gilmour he said: “With Billy, I don’t want to have that thought or conversation until the window opens and it is not open now. I value him a lot in this squad.

“You say we have options in midfield, that quickly changes as we have seen with the winger situation.

“Hakim [Ziyech] gets injured at the weekend and Callum [Hudson-Odoi] gets injured in training and the numbers are not so great. I will make that decision going forward.”
