Chelsea boss Frank Lampard claims Wolves are a top-six contender.

The London club is now set to take on Wolves at the Molineux and Lampard sees them as a legitimate threat.

The Chelsea legend said: “They should feel they have a chance.

“It was always going to be the way.

“Particularly from our point of view, we always want to be competitive but we're all very honest about the situation here: Eden [Hazard] moved on, and two number nines [Alvaro Morata and Gonzalo Higuain] moved on who were the number nines generally last season.

“Younger players are coming in.

“But that's not just the story, because you look at teams that have invested heavily, Everton, West Ham, Leicester.

“Wolves probably came on their own, that were competing towards the top six so that's challenging for all of us.

“We've seen it changing before our eyes."
