Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has been urged to start Olivier Giroud against Fulham at Craven Cottage later today.

This is according to Alan Smith who believes the experience of Giroud is needed to help the Blues end our poor run in the Premier League.

Smith told the Evening Standard: “Werner led the line in the limp 3-1 defeat by Manchester City, with Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham remaining unused on the bench.”

“It would be a major surprise if that happens again.

“For me, the experience of Giroud would be the right call in these pressurised circumstances, with Werner cutting in from the left side.”
