Despite Chelsea currently sitting 15th in the Premier League with seven points from six matches, the club's all-time leading scorer Frank Lampard has revealed that he still expects the Club to contend for a league title this season.
"They started slow but they beat Arsenal recently so that gives them a bit more mentally and I think they'll come back into the race," Lampard told ESPN FC.
Speaking about John Terry who has been receiving a lot of criticisms, Lampard said, "I think John can carry on for years. I've been through it, everyone goes through it as you get into your 30s.
"The minute you turn 30, everyone starts to speculate how much you've got left. So the minute you don't play well, people start to talk about it,"
Further speaking about club manager, Mourniho, he said "I know Jose Mourinho and I know the pressure at Chelsea, they want themselves to be challenging every year. So I think it will be addressed very quickly, if it hasn't already.
"We all have patches, unfortunately, when you have patches at the start of the season, it makes the table look really bad early on but I think they'll change that because they still have the same quality of player there." he added.
"For me, they [Manchester City and Chelsea] are the two top clubs in England. They'll fight it out for the title," he said.
"They are the two best squads in the league and I'm very close to both of them so I kind of know what they've got. It's hard for me to call who's going to win it but that's how I see it panning out."
