Chelsea have had an OK season so far in the Premier League and under Frank Lampard they are looking to improve every time they play. They will look forward to playing their brand of football.

Lampard will have a straight forward strategy to attack and get the win. He will assign his forward players with the task to score freely. While his defenders will have to defend the goals.
