Chelsea: Lampard's defensive coaching questioned by Cross
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has been heavily backed in the transfer market. The Blues have made significant additions to their squad and could become a real force in the Premier League when all the new signings are embedding into the line-up.

Lampard acted early in the window to bring in Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell and Thiago Silva.
The Blues then followed those arrivals up with deals for Kai Havertz and Edouard Mendy.
Chelsea have spent well over £200million during the window.
Here, Express Sport looks at how Lampard’s side could line-up with all his new signings.

Silva has joined the Blues on a one-year deal with the option for a further 12 months, while Chilwell arrived from Leicester in a £50m transfer.
Both are likely to feature heavily in Lampard’s line-ups this term, alongside club captain Cesar Azpilicueta and Kurt Zouma, with Reece James and Fikayo Tomori also available.
Midfield
N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Jorginho were regulars in midfield for Lampard last season.
The trio are likely to play key roles again this term, with Mason Mount also able to slot in.

Werner joined from RB Leipzig for £45m, while Ziyech was signed from Ajax in a £36m deal.
Chelsea's biggest signing of the window was the £70m deal for Havertz.
