Frank Lampard has been rested for Chelsea's Europa League clash with Sparta Prague as he prepares to face Manchester City on Sunday.

The Blues fan-favourite will have to wait a little longer for his 200th Chelsea goal.

Branislav Ivanovic has also been rested for the visit of the Czech side, while Demba Ba is cup-tied having represented Newcastle in the competition earlier in the year.

Victor Moses, Cesar Azpilicueta and Fernando Torres are all potential starters for Rafael Benitez tonight.

Ramires, Eden Hazard and Marko Marin could also come back in after playing in the first leg win in Prague.
