Chelsea interim head coach Frank Lampard has confirmed changes will be made from the Real Madrid game for this weekend's Premier League clash against Brighton. The Blues are still searching for their first win in April after a defeat this past Wednesday in Spain came four days on from a loss to Wolves, and the challenges don't get any easier with in-form Brighton rocking up to Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Two changes were made from the Wolves team for the Champions League quarter final against Los Blancos with N'Golo Kante and Ben Chilwell returning in place of Kai Havertz and Conor Gallagher. Those decisions also saw a formation change occur with Lampard opting to play a back five against Carlo Ancelotti's side, a plan that appeared to backfire after just five minutes.
Chilwell will be suspended for the return fixture in west London after being sent off in the first meeting of the tie. With no need to rest the full-back for Madrid's arrival next week, his place in the starting XI is likely guaranteed especially following Lampard's update on the status of Kalidou Koulibaly who left the Santiago Bernabeu with an injury.
