Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard believes Sunday's clash with Manchester United will be no title decider.
Chelsea are currently six points ahead of United in the Barclays Premier League, with the title tending to go to the team with the best start in recent seasons.
Lampard feels the difference this season is that there could be other challengers.
He said: "In those days it was us versus them for the league. This year you look at it and Liverpool look stronger and could be challenging, Arsenal as well. It's not a case of us and Manchester United.
"We're confident anyway. It's a game that everyone gets up for regardless of the circumstances.
"It's nice to go into with a few goals in the last couple of games we've played. We've got a few days to recover and we'll certainly be ready."
