Lampard wants Chelsea to return to winning ways

Frank LampardLondon, Dec 26 : Chelsea star Frank Lampard, set to lead his side after John Terry's dismissal against Everton, knows that they must return to those winning ways to lift the title.

"Our home form has been suspect and West Brom is a game where we have to say `Right we're back on form' and win it. We are not playing particularly well at home and there are a few reasons for that. There's a bit of a lack of confidence to be honest," he said.

"We went so many games unbeaten and walked out on the pitch each time thinking `We're going to win this' no matter who we were playing. Now we're not as confident.

We need to start fast and once you get that early goal it's virtually game done. But we haven't been getting it," The Sun quoted Lampard, as saying.

The England ace conceded the atmosphere at the Bridge has suffered because of the shaky form and he wants fans to step up the volume today and do their bit.

"It's understandable. You sit there and you are edgy. The fans do need to get behind us but we need to get them going," he said.

Gaffer Phil Scolari is considering playing two up front in a bid to turn Chelsea's home form around.

And a fit-again Didier Drogba lining up with Nicolas Anelka could be the key to Blues' title tilt - providing his teammates can adapt. (ANI)
