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

Forwards:

With plenty of top forwards at his disposal, it’s not been easy for Lampard to settle on a front-three. However, in recent matches, the combination of Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner and Tammy Abraham has been effective enough that he will stick with the trio in France. Playing from the left, Werner has still chipped in with goals and assists, while Abraham has scored in his last three Chelsea games. This leaves the likes of Olivier Giroud and Callum Hudson-Odoi on the bench – not bad at all.

Predicted Chelsea XI: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Silva, Chilwell; Kante, Kovacic, Mount; Ziyech, Werner, Abraham.
