'Been waiting for this moment' - Chelsea fans delighted with Frank Lampard's team selection

Chelsea take on Sheffield United this evening at Bramall Lane and Frank Lampard has made two changes to his side who beat Crystal Palace.

One was forced with the injury to N'Golo Kante, with Jorginho coming into the team instead in the heart of the midfield.

The other was a slight surprise with Tammy Abraham coming into the side and replacing Olivier Giroud up top.

The Frenchman has been in good form since the return of the Premier League, bagging another goal in the 3-2 victory over the Eagles on Tuesday night.

Abraham struggled against West Ham, but was also on the scoresheet at Selhurst Park for just the second time in the league since the turn of the year.

But the return of Jorginho is seen as a big moment for Blues supporters, after the midfielder had been left out of the side for the last few weeks.

It's the first time that the midfielder has started a Premier League game for the Blues since the league was restarted, having come on as a substitute against Palace.

Lampard has praised the professionalism of his vice-captain, and will be hoping for a big performance from him in another crucial match.
