Wolverhampton 2-5 Chelsea: 3 reasons why the 3-man defence is the best formation for Lampard's squad

#1 Chelsea has midfielders who are suited to this formation

Chelsea's midfield - Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic.

Needless to say, when N'Golo Kante, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic are playing together for Chelsea, the club probably has one of the top three midfields in the league.

The most important factor while judging this midfield trio is the fact that apart from their play-making capabilities, these three players have great defending abilities in them, which helps a lot when the team is defending.

Holding midfielders are like another wall of defense in the center of the field, and these three midfielders prove the same.

If Chelsea continue to play a three-man defence as per their last match, the midfield is going to provide a helping hand to the three defenders at the back, as the positioning will be compact at the back.

On the contrary, it is also true that if Chelsea play three defenders at the back with two full-backs taking up a pseudo-winger role, the Europa League winners will be forced to choose only two of the three midfielders between Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic. This is because Lampard will not drop his forwards due to their bolstering form.

Frank Lampard has mentioned that his team will play many formations throughout the season according to the need and the opposition, but it is highly unlikely that the Englishman will change his tactics soon considering the last result.
