Mount, Azpilicueta, Willian - The team Chelsea fans want Frank Lampard to start vs Brighton

Chelsea fans have been having their say on the team that they would like to see start ahead of the Premier League clash against Brighton and Hove Albion.

The Blues host the Seagulls on Saturday after easing past League Two side Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening.

Goals from Ross Barkley, Pedro, Kurt Zouma, Reece James, Callum Hudson-Odoi and a brace from Michy Batshuayi gave Frank Lampard's much changed side a comfortable 7-1 win.

The Chelsea head coach used the game in order to give Hudson-Odoi and James their first chance of first team football after their return from injury, as they now look for a starting place in the Premier League.

But what team would Chelsea fans like to see Lampard put out against Brighton?

Despite the comfortable win in the cup, fans have opted for a side similar to the one that lost 2-1 against Liverpool in the last Premier League outing, but with just one forced change.

Left back Emerson was forced off early in the game against the Reds and is unlikely to be available for the game, Marcos Alonso is the player who is the most likely to come in as a straight replacement.

Despite Hudson-Odoi and James' goal scoring returns in the week, fans have decided to again go with Willian and Cesar Azpilicueta, with the returning duo having to look to make an impact from the bench.

Supporters can see how close they got to predicting the actual lineup when Frank Lampard's team is released around an hour before kick off on Sunday.
