Lampard returns for Blues

Frank Lampard returned to the Chelsea side for their Barclays Premier League trip to struggling Wigan.

The England midfielder, who was only on the bench for the key games against Valencia and Manchester City, came in for the injured Ramires in the only change to the side that handed City their first domestic defeat of the season on Monday.

Defender David Luiz again missed out with a knee injury, while Wigan boss Roberto Martinez kept faith with the side that beat West Brom last weekend.
