How Chelsea could line up against Rennes

Sports Mole looks at how Chelsea could line up for Wednesday's Champions League meeting with Rennes.

Chelsea will bid to extend their unbeaten start in this season's Champions League to three games when they play host to Rennes on Wednesday evening.

Despite criticism regarding some of their recent performances, the Blues have recorded four points from fixtures against Sevilla and FC Krasnodar respectively.

At a time when matches continue to come at a rapid pace, Frank Lampard has a number of selection dilemmas ahead of their next encounter at Stamford Bridge.

Here, Sports Mole predicts how the West Londoners could line up for the meeting with the Ligue 1 outfit.

While Lampard tends to make minimal changes when his side are on a winning run, the Chelsea boss has acknowledged that squad rotation is important this season.

Thiago Silva is expected to be rested for the weekend's encounter against Sheffield United, while Kai Havertz and Timo Werner are also due for an appearance among the replacements.

That could see Antonio Rudiger, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Tammy Abraham all get the nod in their respective positions for this contest.

Ben Chilwell has taken on a high workload since his return from an ankle injury, something which could lead to Emerson Palmieri being provided with a rare start.

Although Lampard has started to favour N'Golo Kante in the holding role, the Frenchman may be joined by Jorginho in a midfield two.

Christian Pulisic will miss out for Chelsea after sustaining what appeared to be a recurrence of a hamstring injury at the weekend.

Despite making progress in his recovery from knee surgery, Billy Gilmour is a couple of weeks away from coming into contention.
