Frank Lampard has stuck with the same starting XI that performed so well against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday afternoon for tonight's Champions League round of 16 first leg tie against Bayern Munich, although Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a surprise omission with young Scottish midfielder Billy Gilmour named in his stead on the bench.
Tammy Abraham is again a substitute with Olivier Giroud tasked with leading the line against the Bundesliga leaders.
Willy Caballero continues in goal with a back three of Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen, Toni Rudiger. Reece James and Marcos Alonso will play at wing back with Mateo Kovacic and Jorginho in central midfield.
Ross Barkley continues instead of Willian, while Mason Mount also starts in an attacking midfield role.
Bayern head coach Hansi Flick has brought Thomas Muller, Benjamin Pavard and Jerome Boateng in to his starting XI from the side that required a late winner from Robert Lewandowski to see off Paderborn last Friday evening. Philippe Coutinho is dropped to the bench.
