Chelsea are facing Sevilla in the Champions League tomorrow night in what has become a two horse race for top spot.
Both sides have already qualified for the next round, so it is all about winning the group now.
Chelsea are in pole position to sign David Alaba, full story HERE.
This means Frank Lampard can afford to rest a few of his key players tomorrow, and it certainly sounds like he is going to.
Lampard on rotations for Sevilla: "Yes, I will have to do it for different reasons. Some players have played a lot."
"Also, players who aren't playing so regularly are training really well, knocking on the door and deserve to play. I don't expect a drop in level." #CFC #UCL

This certainly hints that we could see some of the ‘fringe players’ as such come into the starting eleven tomorrow, and I would expect to see Callum Hudson-Odoi start.
Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic have both barely featured recently so I expect them both to start the match tomorrow in order to gain some solid match fitness.
That leaves a number of other decisions on who to rest – I believe we could see Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell, N’Golo Kante, Mason Mount, Reece James, and Tammy Abraham all rested tomorrow.
Predicted Xl –
(4-3-3) – Mendy, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Zouma, Emerson. Jorginho, Kovacic, Havertz. Pulisic, Hudson-Odoi, Giroud.
Resting most of the player’s give chance to other and it motivate them. There is a fully fit squared the only problem we should avoid in resting some of them is to avoid a defeat. We should finish on top if the group no matter what. To avoid meeting the bug guns at the last 16 go go Chelsea…
