3. Frank Lampard vs David Luiz
There will be three current Chelsea players lining up to face England tonight in the form of Brazilian trio David Luiz, Ramires and Oscar. This might work to England's advantage considering the likes of Ashley Cole, Gary Cahill and Frank Lampard will be all too well aware of the threat each of them pose having seen them in action in training at Stamford Bridge this season. The battle between the 6 Chelsea players could make for a fascinating back-drop for this encounter, and it will be intriguing to see who comes out on top. I have decided to look at Frank Lampard and David Luiz specifically however, considering that each play in central roles. Frank Lampard is likely to start at the heart of England's midfield, and in spite of being told he is deemed
surplus to requirements at Chelsea, he almost certainly still has a role to play for the national side - he has proven his worth with his 11 goals for the Blues so far this season. Lampard will be at the centre of the majority of England's attacking intent tonight, alongside Steven Gerrard, who additionally has been equally as impressive for Liverpool of late. It will then be up to centre-back David Luiz to contend with the midfielder by making sure the pass-master doesn't find a way around Brazil's back-line with his searching crosses and long balls. Considering Luiz has the inside scoop on Lampard, this one could be an intriguing battle indeed.
