Frank Lampard will take charge of his sixth game as interim Chelsea head coach on Tuesday evening as the Blues face top of the table Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Lampard is still looking for his first win since returning to the club on a temporary basis, with the former Everton boss losing his first five games in charge. Chelsea's latest defeat came at the hands of Brentford on Wednesday evening and Lampard was strongly criticised for the line-up he put out at Stamford Bridge.
The 44-year-old went for a similar line-up to that which Real Madrid the previous week, with no natural central striker starting on the pitch. Raheem Sterling filled the role with the likes of Conor Gallagher and N'Golo Kante supporting the England international in attacking areas.

There is virtually nothing to play for between now and the end of the season for Chelsea, although Lampard would tell you different. It's a great chance to give some players, who perhaps haven't been given too many minutes this season, an opportunity to showcase their talent in the first-team.
The defence will probably remain the same more or less, but Benoit Badiashile could be handed another chance. The French defender has impressed when called upon since signing from AS Monaco in the January transfer window but recently he hasn't been part of any first-team action.
Mateo Kovacic has failed to impress in recent games and that could see him dropped from the side to perhaps give Ruben Loftus-Cheek a go in the centre of midfield. Enzo Fernandez has been one of Chelsea's most consistent performers so he deserves to keep his place in the middle of the pitch.
The front-three is where we could see the most change. The likes of Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudryk have been deprived of first-team football since moving to Stamford Bridge in January. Madueke particularly has hardly had the opportunity to showcase his exciting talent. The England Under-21s international got 11 minutes on Wednesday night and that was his first appearance since Graham Potter's final game in charge against Aston Villa.
Meanwhile, Mudryk has played more than Madueke but the Ukrainian tends to come off the bench. He looked sharp when coming on at half-time against Brentford so he may have put himself into Lampard's thinking for the game against Arsenal, the club he almost signed for instead of Chelsea in January.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be handed a start at his old club after an encouraging cameo against Brentford. Chelsea started with no strikers so bringing Aubameyang on gave them a focal point in attack and they looked a different side in the second-half, albeit to no avail in west London.
