		</div><p>Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says Fikayo Tomori was deserving of his first start for the club.</p>
<p>The 21-year-old was named in Lampard’s team for the 2-2 draw against Sheffield United as he was preferred to Andreas Christensen to partner Kurt Zouma in the centre of defence.</p>
<p>Lampard is a huge admirer of the England Under-21 international, having had him on loan at Derby last season, and says his first Chelsea appearance for three years was on merit.</p>
<p><em>“I think Tomori played very well for me last year and is training at a very high level,&#8221;</em> Lampard said.</p>
<p><em>“There is competition at centre-back, he deserved to play and I thought he played well. It was just a choice.”</em></p>
<p>Chelsea have conceded nine goals in their opening four games, including four to teams promoted from the Championship, which leaves Lampard looking for defensive solutions.</p>
<p>He will be helped by the return of Antonio Rudiger after the international break and the former Derby manager is not worried about the make-up of his back line.</p>

<p><em>“No, I wouldn’t say I was worried about it,”</em> he said. <em>“I am trying to work all over the team to get the right combinations.</em></p>
<p><em>“Rudiger is fit after the international break which gives me another choice.</em></p>
<p><em>“We can isolate goals and talk about centre-backs or whatever – it’s not (just down to them), it’s the team.</em></p>
<p><em>“When we score goals, sometimes it’s because of the centre-back playing the ball quickly.</em></p>
<p><em>“I am not relating to the centre-back issue. I trust the four centre-backs I have completely, we are just in a moment where obviously we need to stop conceding goals.”</em></p>
<p>The Blades looked dead and buried at half-time after trailing to Tammy Abraham’s double but they mounted a recovery in the second half and earned a point thanks to Callum Robinson’s strike and a Kurt Zouma own goal.</p>
<p>Left-back Enda Stevens said his side showed Chelsea too much respect in the first half and wants them to use the result to build belief.</p>
<p><em>“The finish was brilliant, it’s what we need to do, but we need to start games like that,”</em> he said.</p>
<p><em>“I know we are playing at Stamford Bridge and playing against great players but the occasion can’t get the better of us.</em></p>
<p><em>“We have got to control our emotions and be smarter. We did that in the second half and we go into the international break on a positive.</em></p>
<p><em>“We have got points on the board and we are building to where we want to be and hopefully – after the break – we can really kick on.”</em></p>
