Lampard ready for United clash

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard is ready for their clash with Manchester United this weekend.

The two title contenders will go head-to-head at Old Trafford on Sunday.

“A game against Manchester United will always be a table-topping clash and it’s in our minds that we dropped some relatively easy points over the last few weeks, so we’re in a position now where we really want to get a result,” Lampard told the club’s official website.

“We go to win the game or not to get beaten, there is still a long way to go regardless but it is a very important game.”

“The publicity around Chelsea now is that if you drop a few points people jump on it straight away, but Liverpool and United have dropped points, no-one has pulled away from us, and Arsenal are behind us,” added Lampard.

“It’s the same for everyone, now we’re starting all pretty much level. We need to start this part of the season very strong.”
