The wonderful thing about football is that, following a painful defeat, it usually gives you a swift opportunity to make amends with another fixture.
After the disappointment of the home defeat inflicted by Liverpool, Chelsea have the chance to make amends when they welcome Barnsley, to Stamford Bridge, for a 3rd round Carabao Cup tie.
For the winners, it looks extremely likely that a trip to Tottenham Hotspur awaits.
But, following the defeat against Liverpool, what should Frank Lampard do?
Should as we anticipated he would before the Liverpool game, Frank rotate his starting eleven and give a start to those who would appreciate a start or does he go into this fixture with his strongest eleven, grab the victory and improve moral?
As is the norm, this season, we are giving you the opportunity to predict the starting eleven that Lampard will opt for.
Also, to add some spice, we are also asking you to predict the score.
Simply drop your predicted starting elevens into the comment feature, along with your predicted score, beneath this article.

Good training and exercise game tonight for the lads…
Shout outs to…
1. Silva, I love his calm attitude… He is surely an experienced player…
2. Tomori… This guy is a good defender, just that last season he had many errors or panic moments..
3.. Kovacic,.. Very OK…
4. Barkley… Chelsea should not sell or loan this guy for now…, if you want to send any body on loan… It’s RLC to get regular playing time.
5. Abraham.. Had a good game.
6. Emerson… Good game too
7. Then Kai… He is improving… But his feet is not yet on the ground…
A good training exercise match… We needed that for the lads to get up to rhythm.
Didn’t forget our target is not to play Barnsley rather to battle bayern, Madrid, etc and Liverpool and city… And show them what we can do….
My shout out for this game goes to Willy Caballero. He made a lot of saves. I personally believe if it was Kepa on the goal, all those shots would have been goals, and we would have had a nightmare of a night to remember for that game. And would have been criticizing the defenders and the coach by bow.
So Kudo to Caballero!
