Team news
After the Ajax game, Lampard ruled out Chelsea centre-back Antonio Rudiger for Saturday's visit as he believes this game comes too soon for the German International as he looks to make a full recovery from his injury.
Ngolo Kante is doubtful, but could return to the Chelsea line-up if Lampard wants to risk him.
Another Chelsea player who is doubtful is English midfielder Ross Barkley who got injured in Chelsea's 1-0 win over Newcastle last weekend.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek is still a long term absentee as he still is working to get back from his long-term injury that he suffered at the end of last season.
However, one positive in terms of team news for Chelsea is that Emerson could make a return to the starting line up after returning to full training after he picked up an injury on International break with Italy.
For the home team, Chris Wood is a doubt with a hamstring injury.
But both Ashley Barnes and Jack Cork are expected to be fit after overcoming injuries of their own.
