Lukaku benched, Werner starts: Fans select best XI for Lille clash

Champions League football is back as the defending champions will host Lille tonight in the first leg of the Round of 16 tie.

Mason Mount is a big doubt for this game while long-term absentees Reece James and Ben Chilwell will miss this clash.

Yesterday, we asked you to select your best XI from two options and the top two comments both agreed that the first option was the better one.

Fans' selected XI

Mendy; Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Rudiger; Azpilicueta, Kovacic, Kante, Alonso; Ziyech, Werner, Havertz

Romelu Lukaku has not been his best self since his interview back in December where he slated Thomas Tuchel's system. The striker has just three goals since then, with two of them coming against weaker opponents in the Club World Cup.

Fans want him benched for this game with Timo Werner getting the start. N'Golo Kante is back in the starting XI while Marcos Alonso starts at the left-back spot.

This is a pretty strong team and on paper, Chelsea are the favourites to beat Lille. Let's get the win!
