Frank Lampard has told Chelsea they must deliver an "absolutely spot on" performance if they are to stand any chance of a Champions League comeback against Bayern Munich.
The odds are overwhelmingly stacked against Chelsea at the Allianz Arena tonight, with the Blues trailing 3-0 on aggregate and missing a host of key players through injury and suspension.
Chelsea must score at least three goals inside 90 minutes to even take the game to extra-time, while also keeping the Bundesliga champions - and Robert Lewandowski in particular - at bay.
Lampard has been a part of some famous Chelsea comebacks as a former Stamford Bridge midfielder, but he has told his players to put any memories of games gone by to one side and focus on playing without fear against Bayern.

"Historical turnarounds in football don’t matter," Lampard said on Friday. "It’s about what the players do on the day.
"I will try and be very positive with them and try and inspire them to do something special, but we have to work first and foremost and approach the game in the right way.
"All guns blazing or keep it tight, that’s not exactly the conversation. We have to get our game right for the game as a whole.
"We’ll have to respect their ability on the ball and defend very well.
"We didn’t defend well enough at Stamford Bridge which is why we conceded three goals in a short space of time.
"We have to trust if we move the ball well and play confidently we can cause most teams problems.
"We will need to get our game absolutely spot on to compete and try and turn this around."
