Brighton have hardly lost in 2023 (just 2 defeats in all competitions) and are on course for their best ever Premier League finish. Chelsea have done little else but lose in 2023 and are on course for worst Premier League finish in nearly 30 years.

Can we flip that script, at least for a day?

Lampard, as promised, has rotated the squad significantly, giving chances and minutes to those who might be willing to step up. What’s resulted out of that isn’t too confidence-inspiring for some reason however...
