Chelsea's Lampard expects Tottenham aerial assault

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard expects an aerial assault from Tottenham today.

Lampard said: "Tottenham have spent very well. When Harry joined them they were near the bottom of the table and now they are a very powerful side with great attacking options. They have a possibility of challenging for the top four.

"With Peter Crouch they can play more direct because they do have that option and no-one can live with him in the air if the ball is in the right area.

"I saw Spurs play against Manchester United and they did end up playing quite a few long balls into Crouchy - but they have the players that are very sharp around him to feed off it."
