A Chance to Open Up the Gap on CityA wonderful opportunity exists over the next couple of weekends to put some serious daylight between ourselves and Manchester City, at the top of the Premier League table.
This weekend Manchester City are taking on Sunderland (Good luck Gus) in the Capital One Cup Final at Wembley, the following weekend Manchester City participate in an FA Cup quarter-final against Wigan, thereby giving Chelsea the opportunity to open up a 9 point gap between ourselves and them.
When pressed on the possibility of such a gap opening, Frank Lampard had this to say in the media,
"It`s up to us. It`s tight and that would be a nice gap."
"It`s crunch time where you have to develop a winning mentality that even if you play badly you win."
"We didn`t play particularly well against Everton but it was desire that got us over the line."
"Fulham are fighting for their lives. You have to be ruthless to get those results. It`s a local derby and them struggling might make it more difficult."
"It would be better if they were mid-table and cruising."
"But our run since December has been fantastic in the league; we have put ourselves right up in the race."
