Chelsea
Chelsea remain without the services of Benoit Badiashile, Armando Broja, Raheem Sterling, N'Golo Kante, Marc Cucurella, Ben Chilwell and Marcus Bettinelli on Sunday afternoon.
Reece James will also again miss out after suffering a setback in his recovery from a thigh problem, but Mason Mount, who is currently being heavily linked with a summer exit, has a chance of being in the squad, having returned to training after recovering from abdominal surgery.
Lampard is expected to make a number of changes to the side that started at Old Trafford on Thursday, with the likes of Thiago Silva, Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic and Felix set to come into the side.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Kepa; Azpilicueta, Silva, Koulibaly, Hall; Gallagher, Fernandez, Loftus-Cheek; Pulisic, Felix, Madueke
Newcastle
Newcastle, meanwhile, also have a number of players on the sidelines, with Nick Pope, Emil Krafth, Javier Manquillo, Jamaal Lascelles, Matt Ritchie, Joelinton and Joe Willock all out.
Pope's absence, which is down to a finger operation, will open the door for Martin Dubravka to start between the sticks, while Elliot Anderson could replace Willock in midfield.
Due to the injury situation, there are not expected to be many surprises in the Newcastle side, with Jacob Murphy set to feature alongside Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak in the final third of the field, while it should be the same back four that has impressed for much of the campaign.
Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Dubravka; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; S Longstaff, Guimaraes, Anderson; Murphy, Wilson, Isak
Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle United
