Chelsea Predicted XI vs Rennes: Frank Lampard’s possible starting XI as experienced defenders set to return

Midfielders:

In the middle of the park, N’Golo Kante has been in top form of late so will be expected to continue in his natural defensive midfield role as Chelsea travel to his birth country. Despite having numerous options, Lampard is also expected to stick with Mateo Kovacic and Mason Mount, who both impressed and played 90 minutes in the win at St James’ Park.
