Under the tutelage of club legend Frank Lampard, Chelsea have handed a host of opportunities to the young talent within the club itself. Young British youngsters Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori, have done well this season. Lampard will continue to hand opportunities to deserving players in the coming months. Chelsea need to work on their defence having already conceded 13 goals in the 2019-20 EPL season.

Brighton & Hove Albion face a tough outing against Chelsea
Graham Porter will insist that his team play the way they have been doing since the start of the EPL season. The Seagulls have won just one match over the last six weeks, having drawn three and lost two games in the Premier League so far. Porter will hope that forward Neal Maupay will find form against the Blues. Pascal Gross and Aaron Mooy will be tasked with creating opportunities for Albion at Stamford Bridge.
