Frank Lampard will take charge of his first home game as Chelsea interim boss when the Blues welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Stamford Bridge for a Premier League clash on Saturday.
The 44-year-old is still searching for his first win in his second spell in charge of the West Londoners, who have suffered successive away losses without reply against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Real Madrid since his appointment.
Chelsea were beaten 2-0 with 10 men against Los Blancos in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday, and Lampard is now tasked with ending the club's four-game goal drought against a Brighton side who lost 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, albeit in controversial circumstances.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with the Seagulls.
