Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has been speaking to the press ahead of their Carabao Cup match against Manchester United tomorrow evening.
The Blues host United at Stamford Bridge in the 8.05pm kick off and will be hoping to avenge the 4-0 defeat they sustained at the hands of Old Gunnar Solskjaer’s team earlier on this season.
Lampard has admitted there will be some changes to his starting line up, meaning that some of the fringe and young players might be set for starts, whilst he could rest a number of key players.
Lampard on XI vs United: "I did want to play every game. The beauty of seeing it on this side is you see it differently and see the bigger picture. You have to see the demand on the players. I will make changes." #CFC #MUFC

Two players who have been on the fringes so far this season is Michy Batshuayi and Christian Pulisic. But both have been making a great impact from the bench in recent matches, giving Lampard further selection headaches.
Their performances though, have been duly noted by Lampard, who today described the pair as being ‘game changers’ and very important to the team.
Lampard on bench players impact: "There is nothing better for me recently than subs helping us play well. Pulisic and Kovacic vs Newcastle. Pulisic and Batshuayi vs Ajax." He calls them game changers. #CFC #MUFC
