Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is likely to restore Kepa Arrizabalaga for this evening’s FA Cup clash against Liverpool (7.45pm). The world’s most expensive goalkeeper has been warming the

bench after a poor run of form, with Willy Caballero being given the gloves of late. Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Lampard indicated the £71.6million goalkeeper could return

between the sticks for the cup tie. The Blues boss said: “He's been professional, as expected. He's trained well and he's kept his head down, supported the team. “I say the

same every week because I get asked this every week, but he's been good.” When asked whether Arrizabalaga has a future at the club, Lampard replied: “Yes. Every player here is in

control of their destiny in terms of how they play and how they train. “This is Chelsea and we're trying to close the gap to the top. There's nobody who can be relaxed or loose,

we're pushing every day. “Of course in the summer we look at the group as a whole but we're not looking beyond the game tomorrow night.” Arrizabalaga is likely to be one of four

changes Lampard makes for Liverpool’s visit to Stamford Bridge from the XI that started Saturday's Premier League draw with Bournemouth. Tammy Abraham, N’Golo Kante and Christian

Pulisic remain sidelined while Andreas Christensen is a major doubt. Elsewhere, Ruben Loftus-Cheek was in Under-23 action on Monday evening as he steps up his return to full fitness. Antonio

Rudiger and Kurt Zouma are likely to replace Christensen and Fikayo Tomori while the fourth change should see Willian replace Pedro in support of Olivier Giroud. Speaking about his

selection plans, Lampard said: "We will field a team that gives everything to get into the next round against a very strong Liverpool team. "The team I put out should give

everything to compete with Liverpool, as we have done twice this season. We've competed very well against them and were probably unfortunate to lose on both occasions. "So we have

to approach it with the same spirit. We want to win it [the FA Cup] but winning something is usually a phrase that has gone out of the Premier League unless you are Manchester City or

Liverpool, pretty much, in the last couple of years. "They have made so many strides and gone out on their own slightly so we have to understand that the landscape has changed and try

to bridge the gap." _CHELSEA PREDICTED LINE UP (3-4-3): ARRIZABALAGA; AZPILICUETA, ZOUMA, RUDIGER; JAMES, KOVACIC, JORGINHO, ALONSO; WILLIAN, GIROUD, MOUNT._
