The hosts have decided to start without Hatem Ben Arfa, who hasn’t really formed an effective understanding with Jonathan David. So the Canadian will instead be partnered up not by Buruk Yilmaz, who is almost exactly the opposite kind of player to Ben Arfa: strong, not very mobile but efficient. Meanwhile, Chelsea have gone for a particularly solid lineup.
Lille: Jardim; Fonte, Botman, Djalo; Zeki Celik, Bamba, Xeka, Andre, Gudmundsson; Yilmaz, David
Subs: Grbic, Raux, Ben Arfa, Lihadj, Gomes, Weah, Zhegrova, Onana, Bradaric
Chelsea: Mendy; Christensen, Silva, Rudiger; Azpilicueta, Kante, Kovacic, Jorginho, Alonso; Pulisic, Havertz
Subs: Kepa, Bettinelli, Sarr, Lukaku, Werner, Loftus-Cheek, Chalobah, Mount, Ziyech, Kenedy, Vale
