According to a report, Frank Lampard is considering benching Graham Potter's 28-year-old favorite tomorrow.
Kepa Arrizabalaga may not start tomorrow against Brighton, according to claims from Frank Lampard.
On Saturday afternoon, Chelsea will play host to Brighton at Stamford Bridge in a Premier League matchup between the 11th and 7th-place teams.
Even if the Blues are having a terrible domestic season and are in the bottom half of the league standings, they shouldn't let the season finish.
The game versus Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinal is sandwiched between this weekend's contest. Chelsea did suffer a 2-0 defeat last week on their journey to Spain, but they will be aiming to make up ground when they face Madrid on Tuesday night for the return leg.
Against Brighton, this Blues team definitely could use a confidence boost.
According to The Evening Standard, Lampard may switch his goalie on Saturday.
It is known that Chelsea's interim manager will be considering the Champions League second leg when choosing his team for the Premier League.
According to the report, Edouard Mendy, the team's current backup goalkeeper, is angling for a promotion to the starting lineup.
The 28-year-old Kepa Arrizabalaga was unquestionably a fan favorite while Graham Potter was the manager of Chelsea.
Earlier in the season, the Spanish goalkeeper participated in 27 of the 31 games under Potter, securing his position as the club's starting goalkeeper once again.
But may that be about to alter once more?
One position you don't typically tinker with is goalkeeper, especially so close to a season-defining match against Real Madrid.
There is no harm in switching things up versus Brighton and trying new ideas. The team is after all in terrible shape and needs a boost. However, if Kepa is dropped this weekend, it sends out entirely the wrong signals.
We advise Lampard to continue with Kepa unless Mendy will start versus Madrid.
