But the Chelsea boss will be keen to bounce back and claim the first three points of the new European campaign against Sevilla in midweek.

Team News

Edouard Mendy missed the Saints draw after he picked up a thigh injury on international duty with Senegal, but he has trained ahead of the Champions League clash, which leaves Lampard with a decision to make over whether he starts against Sevilla on Tuesday.

Thiago Silva also missed Saturday’s draw after Lampard left him out following his involvement with Brazil, but the 36-year-old is expected to be restored to the side.

Hakim Ziyech was given his debut at the weekend as he was given a run out, but is unlikely to start against Sevilla on Tuesday as he looks to build his match fitness up.
