Lampard insists Chelsea not treating Wigan lightly

Frank Lampard insists Chelsea won't be taking Wigan Athletic lightly tomorrow.

Chelsea may have secured an aura of virtual invincibility at home but their discomfort away from Stamford Bridge almost cost them the title.

One would have assumed that hearing of Wigan's demise against Blackpool would have given them some reassurance but Lampard admits it has made him even more wary about the challenge they face tomorrow.

He said: "We are definitely not taking victory for granted. We have had tight games there and losses there.

"The defeat against Blackpool will either demoralise them or give them a kick up the backside. I would imagine it would probably be the latter and we will need to be on our game. We need to fly out the blocks."
