4-3-3
Chelsea’s Predicted 11
Kepa would be a certainty to start between the goalposts for the Blues with Lampard likely to ring in changes to his backline for the game against Brighton.
The Chelsea caretaker manager could return to fielding a four-man defensive lineup with Wesley Fofana expected to drop down to the bench.
In the centre of the park, Mateo Kovacic could be seen giving way so that N’Golo Kante retains his berth on the team sheet alongside Enzo Fernandez.
Kai Havertz could make his way back into the first XI to operate as the focal point of attack with Joao Felix and Raheem Sterling for the company.
