Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has said that Chelsea is confident ahead of next Sunday’s high-profile premier league clash with Manchester United at home. The match has already been the centre of attention at this moment. After their defeat to Manchester United in last season’s Champions League final, this will be the first meeting between Chelsea and Manchester United.
Chelsea has recently got off to a good start in Champions League as the Blues defeated Bordeaux 4-0. Lampard was instrumental in Chelsea’s trash over Bordeaux recently. Frank Lampard does not think that Chelsea would need any motivation for the upcoming match against Manchester United, stating that no motivating is needed for a match like this.
Manchester United, on the other hand, is not at their prime form so far in the tournament. Cristiano Ronaldo has been back in action in their Champions League opener against Villarreal, making a substitute appearance. However, it is pretty much certain that Ronaldo will be in the starting line up of Ferguson for the Chelsea showdown.
However, Frank Lampard does not think that Chelsea has anything to fear about with the return of Cristiano Ronaldo in action. Though he has admitted that Ronaldo’s inclusion will definitely boost up Manchester United strength, he also believes that the way Chelsea is playing at this moment is enough to face whatever challenge Manchester United provides with.
