Frank Lampard says there's a new "freshness" at Chelsea following the arrival of manager Luiz Felipe Scolari.

"This season we're re-focused, there's a real freshness about us," he told The Sun.

"We're trying to play good football and we're doing that and we're scoring goals.

"We're at the top of the League and in the Champions League we've got a critical couple of games now and we could almost qualify for the next stage. So there's a real nice feeling about the place.

"The fact of having a new manager, we're settled, whereas last season there was always speculation about the future. That's nice.

"We've brought a couple of players into the squad who've really added something. Bosingwa particularly, week in week out, has been fantastic. So was Deco until he was injured.

"There is something about us at the moment. We've always had a strong squad anyway but at the moment it's really clicking and we're working hard for each other. If we keep doing that we've got a great chance."
