Lampard – League has never been tougher
Lampard – League has never been tougher
Frank Lampard is relishing the higher level of competition in the Premier League this season as Manchester City bought their way in the battle for the title. For the Chelsea midfielder, the Premier League is at its best.
“I would say it is the most competitive, with the inclusion of Manchester City as a major force from what they’ve spent and the team that they’ve assembled and the squad”, he said ahead of Chelsea’s trip to Bolton.
Chelsea and Manchester United are usual contenders, but Lampard believes they have further company this year, not ruling out big summer spenders Arsenal or Liverpool, and also Tottenham.
“Liverpool have invested and brought themselves right back into the equation and Tottenham have been there for a few years so, once you add them to the established four, you really have got a competitive league."
