Can Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham prove he’s more than a flat-track bully?

Will the in-form striker get the nod against Liverpool when Frank Lampard's side face another stern test on Sunday?

The repertoire of finishes the 21-year-old has amassed already in the Premier League this season is impressive. There has been a half-volley swept home, a shot from outside the box, a rebound, headers, and a shimmy preceding a lashed strike into the bottom corner.

His rise been proclaimed, and only this week, he went one step further by starting in the Uefa Champions League in midweek against Valencia.
