Billy Gilmour and Timo Werner start while Kepa Arrizabalaga is set to make his 100th appearance for Chelsea when they face Morecambe in the FA Cup.
Frank Lampard has named a very strong lineup as Chelsea get ready to take on League Two side Morecambe FC in the third round of the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge.
The most notable change in the lineup comes in goal where Kepa Arrizabalaga comes in for first-choice stopper Edouard Mendy. This will be the Spaniard’s 100th appearance for Chelsea. With Reece James injured, Cesar Azpilicueta keeps his place at right-back while Emerson Palmieri gets the nod on the left flank.
Kurt Zouma is retained in the side, with the Frenchman partnering Antonio Rudiger at the heart of the Blues’ defence against Morecambe. Fikayo Tomori is named among the substitutes.
Here's how we line up this afternoon!
