Early team news

Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gana Gueye are set to be available for the Blues this afternoon, but Calvert-Lewin is set to use the six-week break from Premier League action to recover from knee, hamstring and shoulder issues.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday, Lampard said: "[Onana and Gana] are fit. They've trained. As long as we don't have any issues in the next 24 hours, then they'll be available.

"[Calvert-Lewin] won't be involved. He's had a few bangs, to be fair to Dominic, that he's been playing with and we hope the break comes at a good time for him and we expect him back for Wolves on Boxing Day.

"The hamstring is a small injury, it's probably a 10-day injury, which is slightly irrelevant now.

"The shoulder was a whack he took against Newcastle - he dislocated it, then it went back in - and he then had a recurrence against Fulham. It's been strapped up a lot. That's something that was looked at by a specialist yesterday and doesn't need any surgery or anything like that.

"Then he still has the knee [problem], so he's been getting through with some issues. The knee is probably the most prominent injury that we want to get right. It's a similar injury to what he had before - it's been aggravated, so this period gives us time to get it right.

"Let's give him some credit because I think a lot of people take a view on players who get injuries and speculate behind the scenes, but there's a lad who dislocated his shoulder and I know there are a lot of people outside of football who do a lot braver things than what we do but Dominic is a lad who is dedicated to try to get on the pitch for his club and possibly his country."
