Chelsea will go further than Man Utd and Man City in Champions League - Lampard
The BT Sport pundit believes Antonio Conte’s first XI is strong enough to beat anyone on their day.
Lampard thinks Chelsea are well set for the latter stages of the competition if they can keep all their players fit.
He told BT Sport: “Manchester City and Manchester United have both got really strong squads but Chelsea’s first XI can rival anybody.
“Manchester City are playing incredibly at the moment, as we all know.
But I think the way Chelsea set up to go away in Europe and get results, which you have to do, especially in the latter stages – they have a really strong, organised team that can go and do the job like they did at Atletico.
“If they lose crucial players it will be tougher. But I do believe if they have a fit squad, they have a great chance of going as far in Europe as any of the English teams.”
Lampard also thinks the fact Manchester United and City could pull away from the Blues in the Premier League will work in Chelsea’s favour.
“It might be a focus at the end of the season if the title is out of reach,” he said.
“To consolidate league-wise and concentrate on getting top four, which is massive for Chelsea obviously, and maybe have a real run at the Champions League.”
Chelsea return to Champions League action tonight when they host Roma at Stamford Bridge.
Conte’s side are looking to make it three wins from three after beating Qarabag and Atletico Madrid in their previous two games.
