Probable Lineups

Lille Team News

Timothy Weah is the only injury concern for Lille ahead of Wednesday's reception of Chelsea.

Gabriel and Tiago Djaló battle to partner former West Ham defender Jose Fonte at centre-back.

Chelsea Team News

N'Golo Kanté missed out against Brighton at the weekend because of injury but Frank Lampard expects to have the Chelsea midfielder available on Wednesday. With Mateo Kovacic also expected to return, Mason Mount should push forward into the attacking trio.

Christian Pulisic has fallen completely out of favour in the last month, which leaves Pedro and Willian battling for a starting spot against Lille.

Focus

Lille have only won one of their last four matches but are unbeaten in their last three (W1, D2).

Frank Lampard has won back-to-back matches as Chelsea manager for the first time. They also kept their first clean sheet of the season at the weekend.

Both teams lost their Champions League group opener, with Lille losing 3-0 away to Ajax and Chelsea falling to a surprise 1-0 defeat at home to Valencia.
