1. Chelsea midfield woe.
Frank Lampard still have variety of fitness issues before this fixture, particularly within the middle. With the likes of N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, and Fikayo Tomori all injured.

N’Golo Kante
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: July 14 (vs Norwich city). Lampard has suggested that Kante are going to be out thanks to a hamstring injury for “a week or so” that Mateo Kovacic passed a fitness test.

It appears unlikely that any risk are going to be taken on the planet cup winner before Tuesday game with Norwich.

While Kovacic was call at the meeting with Crystal palace, Lampard acknowledge that the Croatian could return for the match at Barmall Lane.

Like kante risks are unlikely to be taken on both players, given the character of their injuries respectively, but Kovacic appears more likely to form an appearance in Yorkshire.

Fikayo Tomori sustained what the manager called a “Minor” set back in training, Tomori is unlikely to return back until home meeting with Norwich.

Frank on the opposite hand opted for young midfielder Bily Gilmour in absence of Kante and Kovacic which leaves interrogation point on Jorginho, who came on for the ultimate ten minutes.

2. Is Kepa fighting losing battle?

Wilfred Zaha’s rocket to chop the deficit at Selhurst park during a game that Chelsea were cruising was the newest goal 25-year-old was blamed for.

Sky sports announcer Gary Neville was Critical of Kepa’s role. And while the shot wasn’t placed right within the corner, the speed of the ball clocked in at 65mph, with the sheer venom enough to defeat the Blues goal keeper.
