Chelsea and Eintracht Frankfurt head into the second leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday night locked at 1-1 on aggregate.
Chelsea
Chelsea will almost certainly be without N'Golo Kante after the midfielder sustained a hamstring injury at the weekend.
Mateo Kovacic is likely to replace the France international, while Loftus-Cheek should get the nod over Ross Barkley.
Willian and Giroud are expected to return to the starting lineup, and Emerson Palmieri could be preferred to Marcos Alonso at left-back.

Sebastien Haller remains out of contention due to a stomach injury.

Head To Head
Frankfurt will be making their first trip to Stamford Bridge with last week's first leg representing the only competitive clash between the clubs.
Chelsea have only faced German opposition on four occasions since 2013, with the West Londoners coming through unbeaten in games played against Schalke 04.
Frankfurt last played a meaningful contest against an English team when recording a goalless draw with Newcastle United in the UEFA Cup during the 2006-07 campaign.
