Chelsea team confirmed vs Rennes: Hudson-Odoi starts with Havertz on bench

Chelsea are back in Champions League action tonight as they take on Rennes at Roazhon Park.

The Blues are going into the game in a great run of form, looking for their sixth victory in all competitions and looking solid in all departments right now.

Frank Lampard's side are also in an excellent position in Group E with two wins from their opening three games in the competition.

Victory tonight and Sevilla beating Krasnodar in the other match tonight will mean that the Blues are into the last 16 of the competition.

Can Chelsea challenge for the title?

Despite the fact the Blues have a big Premier League game with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, the Blues boss insisted he is not taking the Rennes match lightly.

Lampard has picked a strong side to face the Ligue 1 side in France, and you can see the team he has selected below.

Chelsea: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Thiago Silva, Chilwell; Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount; Hudson-Odoi, Abraham, Werner.
