This Tuesday evening Chelsea start their Champions League campaign when they welcome the Spanish side, Sevilla, to Stamford Bridge.
Sevilla are the highest-ranked team in our group, Group E and will give Chelsea a stern test.
Already this season the fragility of our defence has been highlighted in 3-3 draws with West Bromwich Albion (a) and Southampton (h).
If Chelsea are to progress into the knockout stages of the Champions League, a competition we famously won back in 2012, it is essential that the defence is on top of its game.
As is the norm, we are asking you to second-guess Frank Lampard and predict the starting XI the boss will go for.
With Edouard Mendy injured and expected to be out for another week, who will get the nod for the green jersey, Caballero or Arrizabalaga?
Thiago Silva is expected to play but who will partner the Brazilian at the heart of the defence?
Will Reece James be preferred to Cesar Azpilicueta?
Just three questions for you to ponder over.
Simply drop your predicted starting XI into the comment facility beneath this article and also your predicted score.
Let us see if anyone can get it spot on.
Champions League - Chelsea v Sevilla?
Chelsea to Win!
Sevilla to Win!
A Draw!

Timo Werner Hits The Nail Perfectly On The Head When It Comes To Chelsea
It is adviceable to choose Caballero as a shot stopper in the next Home game against Sevilla. In the defence, we an experienced defending players. Azplicueta should definately play alongside with Thiago Silver. And when it come to Sub., (Reece James, Fikayo Tomori, or Christensen).
Lampard should use tiago & Zuma, chilwell, Azpliceta or James, kante, jorgiho, pulisic at the left winger and hakim at the right , havert no 8 position, and wener No9

Kepa between the sticks, Zouma to partner Silva at the backline, and Chiwel and Reece at left and right backs respectively. Kante and kovacic to partner at center midfield with Havertz supporting Werner while Pulisic aka captain America and Mason at left and right wing s respectively.
Mendy (if fit), Thiago, Zouma, Captain dave, Chilwell, Kante, Jorginho, Ziyech, Havertz, Christain, Timo

Frank must stop ignoring good advice from proven experts, in order to do things his way, which is not working.
Stop giving Kepa another chance, it always bites Frank back. 3 central defenders worked before, so why
change ??? My formation Willy(Mendy)— Thiago Zouma, Rudiger— Chillwell, Havertz, Jorginho, Azpi.
Pulisic, Werner, Ziyech What the hell have you got to lose, if it works, for Christs sake stick to it !!!!!!!
Frankly we’re shading tears of letting Rudiger down & we continue conceeding stupid goal, on my side, i would wish to see Mendy/Cabarelo Rudiger Chilwell Zouma T.silver Kante kovacic K havertz Pulisic Ziyech Timo werner. Frank generously we feel heart break when we lose, even home games, its too sad.
Lampard should change his formation to 4-3-3 whenever he plays kepa and again individual error should be cut off
