Lionel Messi is expected to miss out with an adductor problem, however, the Argentinian may be able to make the bench. Ousmane Dembele is also returning from injury and has only recently returned to training meaning he is unlikely to feature.
Inter boast an injury-free squad with Alexis Sanchez expected to make the starting line-up after scoring twice before being sent off against Sampdoria last week.

18: That's probably Chelsea's best chance of the match so far and it's yielded nowt. The ball fortuitously falls to Mount on the edge of the area and he blasts it well-over. Lampard claps his hands, Mount slaps the turf.

19: Busquets kicks-off a wonderful move and is the unlikely candidate to try and finish it off when a ball cut from the by-line comes his way. The midfielder gets a good connection on the ball and curls it over the bar.

Pique goes into the book for a tasty follow-through on a challenge, the kind of tackle that divides opinion.

Chelsea have done a goal and it's Tammy Abraham, on his birthday!
I knew there was good reason for mentioning it earlier. He joined Raheem Sterling and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as Premier League players to score in Europe on their birthday.
Lille's rehearsed offside trap goes south and Tomori's ball falls to Abraham, who rounds it off with a simple finish.

Grab your umbrellas, dust off the coats, it's raining goals!
Andy Robertson, the unlikely goalscorer is wheeling away after doubling Liverpool's lead.
Liverpool's left-back has the lot, doesn't he? His latest masterclass is an instinctive finish to convert Alexander-Arnold's low cross.

Inter Milan have the ball in the back of the net, but the flag is up.

Kepa, birthday tomorrow, is forced into making a great stop to keep the score level. Araujo leads the charge and gets a shot underway....forget it, they've scored anyway.
After saving well from Araujo's curling shot, the Chelsea goalkeeper can do little about Osimhe's headed effort from a corner. Lille back on level terms.

Mo Salah, Mo Salah!
Firmino draws the defenders to the front post and has a header saved, this leaves Salah free to tap in the third for Liverpool with the Salzburg keeper rather helpless. There's no danger of Mane moaning about that one...

Reece James goes into the referee's book for a robust tackle - that's probably being kind. Lille players are a touch unhappy about that and the referee is called to calm things down shortly after.
