Chelsea fans desperate to see Kepa start against Spurs

Many Chelsea fans are calling for Frank Lampard to bring Kepa Arrizabalaga back into the team for this weekend’s clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

Jose Mourinho’s side visit Stamford Bridge on Saturday lunchtime in what is a match with major implications for Champions League qualification.

Chelsea were 12 points ahead of Tottenham when former boss Mourinho arrived at the club, but the gap has since been reduced to just one point.

A defeat could see the Blues drop down to 7th in the Premier League so fans want Lampard to utilise his squad to the max, including a recall for Kepa.

The £71million goalkeeper has struggled for form this season, recording the worst save percentage of any other Premier League counterpart.

He hasn’t featured since the 2-2 draw against Arsenal on January 21, but these supporters are desperate to see him start over Willy Caballero in what we feel is probably one of Chelsea’s biggest games of the season yet.

matchday.
