Chelsea Predicted XI: We predict Chelsea manager Frank Lampard’s starting XI as they host Premier League champions Liverpool at Stamford Bridge

Forwards:

Timo Werner will be seen as Lampard’s main striker throughout the season and he will start again today. Mason Mount will get the nod also, with the young England international vital in this Blues side. We think Lampard will rest Ruben Loftus-Cheek and give Callum Hudson-Odoi a runout, in hope that his pace and directness will cause the Liverpool backline problems.

Predicted XI: Kepa, James, Zouma, Christensen, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Barkely, Mount, Hudson-Odoi, Werner
