Chelsea boss Frank Lampard starts Kante and Mason Mount for Liverpool clash after both stars recover from injury

CHELSEA boss Frank Lampard has picked N'Golo Kante and Mason Mount to start in the clash against Liverpool.

French World Cup winner Kante is making his first start in over a month owing to an ankle injury.

Mount took a horror tackle on the ankle from ex-Arsenal man Francis Coquelin in the midweek Champions League defeat to Valencia.

Emerson also returns, allowing Lampard to go back to his initial formation of four defenders, three midfielders, two wingers and a striker.

But both are now back and ready to take on Jurgen Klopp's men at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea fans were loving having the dynamic midfield duo both fit.

One said: "Mount went from 'who?' to an important Chelsea player pretty quickly. Even getting more reaction than Kante and Emerson."

Another posted: "Kante and Mount. Let get this dub boys!"

A fellow fan wrote: "Kante is back! Mount fit and starts. He's been immense and we need him."
"It's the ideal line-up and the formation suits the game."
