The UEFA Champions League Group Stage will kick off with a bang on Tuesday, and the clash between Chelsea and Sevilla will surely attract the spotlight due to the impressive tactics and players involved in this clash.

Frank Lampard's men were not able to hold on to a two-nil win and a 3-2 advantage against the Saints before a late goal by Jannik Vestergaard settled the tie. Chelsea will walk into this game with only one loss in all comps.

Sevilla have not been as impressive as their recent record shows, since the Spaniards have only claimed two wins from their five games in all comps this season. In fact, Julen Lopetegui's men will get to the game after a one-nil loss against regional rivals Granada.

Both Julen Lopetegui and Frank Lampard will have to think outside the box to prepare their lineups for Tuesday's clash. The away side will have to deal with the absences of Sergio Escudero, who walked off their game against Granada with a hamstring injury, and Jules Koundé, who tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of the match. As for Chelsea, their boss will have to settle for either Kepa Arrizabalaga or Willy Caballero under the sticks, as Edouard Mendy will still be sidelined by an injury. Billy Gilmour completes Chelsea's list of unavailable footballers for this game.

This will be the first game ever between Chelsea and Sevilla, and the clash between two of the most competitive games in England and Spain will surely be one that fans will want to keep an eye on.
