Frank Lampard has named his first ever Chelsea starting XI for their pre-season friendly against Bohemian FC.
With the majority of the first team squad having only joined up with the training camp on Monday, it is something of a mixed team from the Blues legend.
Tonight is the first game of a busy summer for the club, as they take on St Patrick’s Athletic on Saturday afternoon before flying out to Japan for the second part of their pre-season.

But here is Lampard’s first ever starting XI as he commences his reign as Chelsea head coach:
Chelsea for the first half: Caballero, Azpilicueta, Ampadu, Guehi, Sterling, Gallagher, Drinkwater, Palmer, Kenedy, Pedro, Batshuayi.
