Chelsea midfielder Lampard counting on Man Utd to slip up

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard hopes leaders Manchester United slip up in the coming weeks.

He admitted the champions' hopes of retaining their title rested on the next fortnight, which sees United travel to Arsenal before hosting the Blues at Old Trafford.

Lampard said: "We can only win the title if we win all our games and Manchester United drop points. They're in the driving seat and we can only do what we can do and that includes going to Manchester United.

"We've got a huge game against Tottenham next week. If we can win that then Manchester United might slip up against Arsenal. Then we can do it.

"We've got to keep our heads straight and keep doing our own thing."
