Chelsea ace Lampard says January arrivals turned them into title contenders

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard feels their new signings have turned them into title contenders.

Lampard believes that new recruits David Luiz and Fernando Torres have helped Chelsea turn a corner and that they now have a real chance of retaining the Premier League title.

"Probably a month ago, if we'd have been honest, with our mindset at the time, deep down we probably would have thought it might have gone.

"But I think where we are now, the way we're playing, we've got to think if we win all our games we've got a great chance of winning the League.

"Now that's a tough ask, but we've got to play Man United. If we can beat them there that would leave us theoretically three points behind them now. And if they drop points and we keep winning we've got a chance, so its sort of down to us.

"It's frustrating we've let ourselves drop, because I fancied us at the start of the season with our squad.

"But now we've got a chance to go and try and make a late run."
