Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Champions League Group H meeting between Valencia and Chelsea at the Mestalla Stadium!
It's tight at the top of Group H as we head into the final two group games, with both of these teams and Ajax all level on seven points. Either Valencia or Chelsea can qualify for the knockout rounds with a win today though due to their head-to-head records in the group. When these two sides met in the opening match, it was Valencia that came out on top with a 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.
VALENCIA STARTING XI (4-4-2): Jasper Cillessen; Jaume Costa, Ezequiel Garay, Gabriel Paulista, Jose Gaya; Ferran Torres, Daniel Parejo, Daniel Wass, Carlos Soler; Rodrigo Moreno, Maxi Gomez.
VALENCIA SUBS: Jaume Domenech, Thierry Correia, Eliaquim Mangala, Francis Coquelin, Kevin Gameiro, Lee Kang-In, Manu Vallejo.
CHELSEA STARTING XI (4-3-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Reece James, Andreas Christensen, Kurt Zouma, Cesar Azpilicueta; N'Golo Kante, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic; Willian, Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Lampard will be pleased with just how quickly his side reacted to going behind and will hope that his side can continue to create more clear-cut opportunities after the break. They'll have to do that without Abraham though as he was stretchered off the side of the pitch shortly after the half-time whistle. Celades' team have had the better opportunities of the game and he will be expecting a reaction after they let their lead slip so quickly.
That's all for today, goodbye!
That draw means that neither side qualifies for the knockout rounds today and it will go down to the final group game in Group H. The result today suits Chelsea better as they face bottom of the group Lille in two weeks time, while Valencia play Ajax who are also still in with a chance of making it to the last 16.
