Frank Lampard has a good opinion of Mason Mount
As reported by the Express, former Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood has claimed Chelsea will challenge Liverpool and Manchester City for the Premier League title.
Chelsea are currently seventh in the league table. But after a dodgy start to the campaign, Frank Lampard seems to have found his best XI, with the performance against Burnley this past weekend being excellent.
And, Sherwood has insisted that Chelsea have what it takes to mount a title challenge after the squad rebuild this summer. (h/t Express)
“It’s either going to be Liverpool, Chelsea or Manchester City. That’s my opinion. I think Chelsea have got a squad now, I still think defensively they’re a little bit poor but I think they’ve got the firepower going forward to really challenge.”
Admittedly, the defence had been a bit sluggish early in the season. However, since Edouard Mendy has arrived, the Blues have tightened up at the back, and have now kept four clean sheets in a row across all competitions.
Kurt Zouma has come into is own of late, while Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell have also shown signs of settling in at the club.
In addition, with Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech also starting to make an impression and Timo Werner getting among the goals, things are certainly looking up for Lampard & co.
However, it is too early for talks of a potential title tilt. For now, the focus should be on getting a win against Rennes in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
