Can't pretend I know much about the opposition but with games coming thick and fast tonight could be a good time to rotate a little. I'd leave the back 5 alone as much as possible so we can finally get a settled unit in there. I know Silva isn't playing but the other 4 should be starting for me. Central midfield were abit limited to only having kante, jorginho and kova, not really seeing alot from kante at the minute so a break may be good and the kovacic /jorginho pairing has always worked pretty well in my opinion. Further forward is where id bring the changes, give CHO a run out, probably start pulisic as he's looking rusty at the minute and get ziyech a start and hopefully move him towards match fitness. Upfront I'm torn between tammy/giroud to keep them happy and werner as he could probably do with a goal or 2. I'm almost certain Frank will start mount in there somewhere but I'd go with
Mendy
James-Zouma-Tomori-chilwell
Kova-Jorginho
Ziyech - Pulisic - CHO
Tammy
Team for tonight

Would be happy to see your team. Maybe only rotate in Azpi for James as James has been starting more recently.
I would be for starting Tammy who is very much our future over Giroud who isn’t.

I’d start giroud. Go with a strong team. Get some points on the board and rotate maybe in the home game against them.

I would quite like to see a midfield 3 of Kovacic, Mount and Havertz tonight .

Think the team will get half @rsed rotated - i.e. starts for Rudiger, Kovacic, Ziyech & Abraham, but with Tomori, CHO & Giroud not getting a look in.
But this is Lampard, predicting his XI accurately makes you psychic

Well, he can’t play them all. He’s resting Silva so at least one other centre back will have to start. But he’s got to choose between Tomori, Christensen and Rudiger, and even in the few posts above we have different opinions. Whichever team Lampard picks he’s going to upset someone. Personally, I would rest Zouma as well as Silva, just because on Saturday we play Burnley and our centre backs will need to be ready for a really physical encounter.
And I would probably start both Ziyech and CHO on the wings, with Giroud a target in the middle.

I do think Rudiger will start probably with Christensen. Ziyech will start. The fact Havertz & Werner were subbed vs. United might see one or both of them start. Mount will be back in.
If I had to play the mugs game of predicting his XI I'd go for this. If I'm only one/two out I'll consider it a success
Mendy
James Christensen Rudi Chilwell
Jorginho Kovacic
Ziyech Havertz Mount
Abraham

4 out but called Rudiger, Ziyech & Havertz starting. I'm calling that a win
