Chelsea team confirmed vs Rennes: Kai Havertz not in squad, Jorginho and Hakim Ziyech start

Chelsea are back in Champions League action tonight when they take on Rennes at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have a good chance to take a step closer to last 16 qualification and are in a really good run of form.

Frank Lampard's side are unbeaten in six matches and have secured four clean sheets in a row, including two thumping wins in their last couple of matches.

The Blues will be without Christian Pulisic for the match tonight, however, with the American having picked up a 'minor' hamstring injury in the warm up on Saturday.

Chelsea have finally found a lot of defensive stability, while Edouard Mendy has made an excellent start in goal for the Blues with five clean sheets.

He will start against his former side, having left Rennes for Chelsea in the summer.

Check out the full Chelsea team below:

Chelsea: Mendy; James, Thiago Silva, Zouma, Chilwell; Jorginho, Kante Mount; Ziyech, Werner, Abraham.

Subs: Caballero, Ziger, Rudiger, Alonso, Christensen, Tomori, Kovacic, Giroud, Hudson-Odoi, Azpilicueta, Emerson.
