Fans are back for the first time since March (albeit in limited numbers) and Leeds United are back at Stamford Bridge for the first time since 2004 (albeit with a rivalry dimmed a bit by the years that have passed).

Still, with a well rested squad, a 15-match unbeaten run, and a chance to move top for the night, there should be no lack of motivation for the three points today.

Lampard’s starting lineup is precisely the same as the community’s preferred, including the start for Four-goal Giroud.

Here we go!

Mendy | Chilwell, Thiago Silva (c), Zouma, James | Mount, Kanté, Havertz | Werner, Giroud, Ziyech

Leeds United starting XI (4-4-1-1):
Meslier | Dallas, Cooper (c), Koch, Ayling | Alioski, Phillips, Klich, Raphinha | Harrison | Bamford

Substitutes from: Casilla, Llorente, Struijk, Costa, Poveda, Roberts, Rodrigo
