Chelsea team confirmed against Liverpool: N'Golo Kante starts with Olivier Giroud up top

Frank Lampard has named his Chelsea side to take on Liverpool tonight in the Super Cup at the Besiktas Park.

The Blues are trying to bounce back from the 4-0 loss to Manchester United on Sunday and they have a tough ask against the Champions League winners.

Jurgen Klopp's side beat Norwich City 4-1 on Friday night and have had a few extra days of rest ahead of tonight's game.

Lampard has still gone for a strong starting XI to take on their Premier League rivals in Istanbul, however N'Golo Kante has not made the first XI as he continues to recover from a knee problem.

Antonio Rudiger and Willian also got through a whole training session yesterday ahead of the match in Turkey.

It comes as a big chance for the Blues to win a piece of silverware and add to their trophy cabinet.
