At the back, Thiago Silva could make his debut for the club at the heart of the defence.
The 35-year-old is yet to feature for the club since his free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in August.
Ahead of the match, Lampard said: “We’ll see with Thiago because Thiago’s not coming back off an injury, he’s just getting fit.”
Ben Chilwell could make the line-up as he is back in training after recovering from a heel injury.
The former Leicester City star missed the end of the last season with the issue.

Tammy Abraham, who scored 15 league goals last season, will lead the line with Mason Mount to his left.
Barnsley have lost their last two Championship matches, going down 2-0 at Reading on Saturday after losing 1-0 at home to Luton.
