Chelsea manager Frank Lampard on key clash against Tottenham Hotspur
According to The Metro, Chelsea star Mason Mount has revealed that Frank Lampard has informed his players of the importance of this weekend’s clash against Tottenham Hotspur.
The Blues face the table top leaders in what is potentially a six-point title race. José Mourinho’s team has been in top form and could be about to finally fight for a trophy.
“The player has made it well known how great the game is.”
Morale in the Chelsea squad will be high after Olivier Giroud scored in injury time to hand us all three points against Rennes yesterday.
The Blues have recovered from a difficult start to the season. We are now just two points from the top when the new starting XI begins to find its footing.
A win at the weekend will allow us to overtake the Spurs. Plus, it would help derail the momentum Mourinho’s team has had in recent weeks.
Mount confirmed that the players know very well the magnitude of the encounter. He also added that the Blues will enter the game with their sights set on all three.
“We go into the game confident that we want to win.”
Chelsea completed the double over Tottenham last season. More of the same will be welcome in the current campaign.
Mourinho also has to beat Lampard as a coach. The Blues boss seems to have an advantage over his former mentor when it comes to their duel on the touchline.
However, Chelsea will face Mourinho at their most formidable this weekend. The Portuguese seems to have rediscovered his magic and it seems that he is infecting his players.

Chelsea failed to make a mark when we faced Liverpool earlier this season. Individual errors and a team that still missed fell into abject defeat.
Now is the time to show that we have learned from defeat and now we are a more formidable team. It is time we put Tottenham in their place.
