The Blues need a 3-0 victory to advance to the semi-final which looks a tough task given their poor run of form
The last chance Chelsea have for any success this season hinges on their display at home to Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final second leg on Tuesday.
Frank Lampard has lost his first three games back in charge of the club having lost to Wolves, Real Madrid by a 2-0 scoreline in the first leg, and then Brighton at the weekend.
It would be nothing short of a miracle if he suddenly found a formula at Chelsea which led to a 3-0 victory against Carlo Ancelotti's side who still look imperious in the Champions League.
Team news
Ben Chilwell is suspended for Chelsea after his red card in the first leg. That means Marc Cucurella is expected to go back into the left-back spot. Kalidou Koulibaly and Armando Broja are out and Kai Havertz, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek will all be assessed in the run-up to the game.
Vinicius Junior and Toni Kroos both missed Real Madrid's match at the weekend but they are expected to be back in line to start at Stamford Bridge. Ferland Mendy is a long-term absentee for Carlo Ancelotti.
Chelsea predicted line-up
Chelsea's predicted XI (4-3-3): Kepa; James, Fofana, Silva, Cucurella; E. Fernandez, Kante, Kovacic; Mudryk, Havertz, Felix.
Real Madrid predicted line-up
Real Madrid's predicted XI (4-3-3): Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Camavinga; Modric, Valverde, Kroos; Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius Jr.
