Chelsea manager Frank Lampard talks up 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 take on the table-toppers in what is potentially a six-pointer in the title race. Jose Mourinho’s side has looked in top form and could be on the verge of finally challenging for a trophy.
“The gaffer has made it very known how big of a game it is.”
Morale in the Chelsea squad will be high after Olivier Giroud scored in stoppage 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 off the top as the new-look starting XI starts to find its feet.
A win at the weekend will see us overtake Spurs. Moreover, it would help derail the momentum that Mourinho’s side have had in recent weeks.
Mount confirmed that the players are well aware of the magnitude of the fixture. He also went on to add that the Blues will be going into the game with an eye on all three points.
“We’re going into the game with the confidence 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 too is yet to beat Lampard as a manager. The Blues boss appears to have an edge over his former mentor when it comes to their touchline duel.
However, Chelsea will face Mourinho at his most formidable this weekend. The Portuguese appears to have rediscovered his magic and it seems to be rubbing off on his players.

Chelsea failed to make a mark when we faced Liverpool earlier this season. Individual mistakes and a team that was yet to hit its stride fell to an abject defeat.
It is now time to show that we have learned from the loss and are now a more formidable outfit. It is time we put Tottenham in their place.
