Carlo Ancelotti has made no changes to that side whatsoever, meaning Aulerien Tchouameni remains on the bench, having started in the 2-0 win over Cadiz at the weekend.

Eduardo Camavinga, who started as left back last time out, has kept his place in the team.

Frank Lampard has decided to name a team featuring a four-man midfield, including Conor Gallager, who started the first leg on the bench. Marc Cucurella starts in the absence of Ben Chilwel, who was sent off for a tactical foul on Rodrygo.
