Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has claimed that only Chelsea can stop them from winning the Premier League title this season. Lampard thinks as long as all the players remain fit it won’t be a problem for the Blues.
Chelsea have been unbeaten in 11 games so far this season after having lost to Arsenal. They are now leading the table with a six-point lead over second placed Liverpool. Chelsea defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 with Diego Costa scoring the only goal.
Chelsea have a tough task ahead as both N’Golo Kanté and Diego Costa are set to miss the next match against Bournemouth as they are serving a one-match suspension for getting five yellow cards.
Lampard, who is Chelsea’s highest goalscorer said, “[Man] City are in a decent position
“And there are teams with quality for sure – City, I think Liverpool are very good to watch this year, and Arsenal.
“I think those will be the group chasing but with Chelsea, when you take that kind of a gap into Christmas, I think barring suspensions or injuries to top players like [Eden] Hazard and [Diego] Costa, I fancy them to carry it through.”
He further added, “As a Chelsea man it is great to see, all credit to everybody there.
“The manager obviously changed the system after a defeat at Arsenal. Nobody would have fancied them to be anywhere near winning the league at that point and now they look the dominant team.
“I don’t like to tempt fate but I can’t see anyone who has got the consistency to close the gap, so I fancy Chelsea strongly now.”
