Champions League Match Preview, Team News and Predicted Line-ups: Chelsea vs Rennes

Chelsea resume Champions League action tonight and will host Ligue 1 side Rennes in their third game of Group E.

Frank Lampard’s side kicked off their European campaign with a goalless draw with Sevilla two weeks ago before strolling to a comfortable 4-0 victory over Krasnodar in Russia last week.

Rennes are without a win in their first-ever Champions League campaign, drawing with Krasnodar in their opener before suffering a 1-0 loss at the hands of Sevilla last week.

They have been impressive in the French top-flight, though, winning five games and drawing thrice in nine games in 2020-21.
