N’Golo Kante also didn’t feature in the 2-1 win over Watford at the weekend, while Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen also missed out.

Ajax might have some problems with their forward line-up as both Lisandro Martinez and Edson Alvarez are carrying minor knocks.

Chelsea and Ajax are great attacking units and there could be several goals scored in the clash.

Goalkeeper

Kepa Arrizabalaga and Andre Onana are both valued at 8.5 Cr and the Chelsea star should be selected ahead of Onana for this clash.

The Spaniard was excellent for Chelsea in the win over Watford and has looked good between the sticks this season.

Defenders

Selecting three full-backs is often the best way to increase the chances of earning points from the defence.

Emerson Palmieri, Nicolas Tagliafico and Sergino Dest are the best options for this clash, given that Chelsea’s Cesar Azpilicueta’s crosses aren’t that great.

Midfielders

Chelsea have several quality options for their midfield and Christian Pulisic has come into form at the right time.

Prediction

Chelsea have been in fine form in recent weeks under Lampard, and they should be favourites to beat Ajax.
