Frank Lampard will rotate his Chelsea team for Wednesday's Champions League Group E clash away to Sevilla and has challenged his fringe players to grab their chance.

With both sides on 10 points and assured of progress to the last 16, victory for either would clinch top spot.

"It's certainly not a dead rubber, we want to win the group," Lampard told reporters on Tuesday, saying Callum Hudson-Odoi and Billy Gilmour are likely to be involved.

"The motivation for the players is to show why they should be in the starting eleven. Some players have been playing a lot.

"It's been a hectic schedule. We have had players knocking on the door, but we won't take it lightly."

Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui, on the other hand, does not plan to rest any players for the match.

Lopetegui said that he hoped forwards Luuk de Jong and Lucas Ocampos, who both missed training on Tuesday, will play. He will be without first-choice goalkeeper Bono and forward Carlos Fernandez due to testing positive for Covid-19, as well as injured midfielders Marcos Acuna and Suso.

After facing Chelsea, Sevilla host La Liga champions Real Madrid on Saturday.
