Chelsea's forgotten midfielder, Romeo Lavia, has been making a strong case for himself in central midfield. With an impressive performance against Liverpool, Lavia showcased his defensive and attacking skills, winning more duels than any other Chelsea player on the pitch. His ability to press resistantly and roll opponents under pressure makes him a valuable asset to the team. As Enzo Fernandez continues to struggle, it's possible that Maresca may opt for Lavia as his preferred central midfielder.
