Chelsea take on Brighton and Hove Albion in their season opener of the 2020/21 season of the Premier League and everyone’s eyes will be on Lampard’s men to see how they fare.
The Blues have spent heavily in the transfer market this summer brigning in players like Werner, Thiago Silva and Kai Havertz and many betting and casino websites like www.onlinecasinosnoop.com have predicted an easy win for the Stamford Bridge outfit.
But according to Mark Lawrenson, Adam Lallana could be the x-factor for Brighton on Monday and the former Liverpool man might cause a few headaches to Chelsea.
“If he stays fit, Adam Lallana will give Brighton something a bit different in midfield – he is a very clever player,” Lawrenson told BBC Sport.
“We already know the Seagulls are solid at the back and I look at them as being capable of finishing top of the bottom eight – or out of trouble in other words.
“This is a tricky opener for them, though. Yes, Chelsea’s new signings will take a little bit of time to gel, but you just know they are going to have a good season because they have so many good players.”
Lallana will surely be someone to watch out for but Chelsea have enough firepower to ensure that the outcome of the match does not tilt in favour of the home side.
Both these sides met in a pre-season friendly at the Amex Stadium two weeks ago and the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
