Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur: 3 talking points as Giroud and Alonso secure win for the Blues | Premier League 2019-20

#1 Kepa Arrizabalaga facing the axe

Arrizabalaga's time at Stamford Bridge may be coming to an end

The newspapers got their headline even before the game started as once again Kepa Arrizabalaga was made to watch the action from the sidelines and the veteran, Willy Caballero started ahead of him. This is the fourth match in a row that Arrizabalaga has been left out of the starting eleven by Frank Lampard.

The Spanish keeper only has himself to blame for his downfall after a string of underwhelming performances this season. The Chelsea goalkeeper has committed some high-profile mistakes and has a disappointing save rate of 25% this season - the worst in the Premier League.

Furthermore, it seems Arrizabalaga's time at Stamford Bridge may be coming to an end as there are heavy speculations about the Blues actively looking for a replacement between the sticks. Lampard has insisted that the Spanish shot-stopper can regain his place in the squad by training hard and showing a good attitude, however, after successive exclusions from the first team and speculations about his replacement, his there are doubts over his future at the club.
