Strongest Chelsea Lineup To Face Liverpool – Lampard And Mikel In Pivot

Midfield

Frank Lampard has given Chelsea 12 amazing years of service. He has created cherished memories and became the idol of many fans. However, looking forward, it is time for the club to let go. While Frank’s contributions in shirt sales and goal scoring feats are undoubtedly crucial, keeping a 34 year old veteran at the club with a huge wage bill is a risk not many will take. Furthermore, the presence of other midfield talents around the world may prove to be more attractive and less expensive acquisitions.

The triumvirate of Mata, Oscar and Hazard will be expected to play in front of the double pivot of Lampard and Mikel in the middle of the park. Given Liverpool’s lack of squad depth, Mikel will be expected to hold the midfield together and protect the back four, keeping an eye on Suarez. Lampard will certainly try to barge forward making his forays and getting into great passing positions behind the Mazacar trio.
