Chelsea have £42m Viktor Gyokeres transfer alternative as Frank Lampard 'interest' emerges
Chelsea return to action on Saturday afternoon at home to Morecambe in the FA Cup.
The Blues will be looking to end a four-game winless streak when they take on their League Two opponents at Stamford Bridge. The visitors sit second from bottom in English football's fourth division.
With one eye on Tuesday's game against Bournemouth, Enzo Maresca is likely to field a youthful line-up akin to what he has done in the Europa Conference League this season. With all that said, below are the latest Chelsea news, views and headlines - with our take on those hot-topics;

Conrad Harder transfer claim
Chelsea are reportedly interested in Sporting CP striker Conrad Harder as an alternative to Viktor Gyokeres.
TBR Football claim both the Blues and Arsenal have shown interest in the £42million-rated Denmark international. Harder has scored nine goals for Sporting so far this season.
football.london's Isaac Seelochan says: "The move would make little sense for Chelsea. If the Blues are to sign an upgrade on Nicolas Jackson, they have to look at Gyokeres, not Harder - even if it means waiting until the summer."
Samuel Rak-Sakyi 'interest' emerges
Frank Lampard's Coventry City are reportedly interested in Chelsea starlet Samuel Rak-Sakyi.
Sky Sports claim the Championship club are interested in signing the 19-year-old on loan. The midfielder has made four appearances for the Blues in the Conference League this season.
football.london's Isaac Seelochan says: "Rak-Sakyi is a talented youngster who needs more first-team football. A move to Coventry would benefit all parties - especially with him potentially getting to work with a Chelsea legend."
