Lampard: Chelsea firepower too much for Arsenal

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has thrown down the gauntlet to Premiership leaders Arsenal ahead of Sunday's big showdown.

Asked after Tuesday's goalless Champions League draw with Valencia where the goals will come from, Lampard responded: "Where do you want me to start? Joe Cole, Shevchenko, Wright-Phillips, Kalou or myself. Hopefully from a set piece! Is that enough for you?

"It's a massive game for us, Arsenal have been fantastic this season. They've slipped up a little bit in the last couple of games, which happens to everyone, so it's a great opportunity for us to try and narrow the gap even more.

"But Arsenal are a fantastic team, especially at home, and we'll have to be at our best.

"It's virtually impossible to go through unbeaten nowadays. It's not tiredness, it just seems like things are going against them."
