Blues hero: Chelsea and Man City are the two top clubs in England

Frank Lampard believes Chelsea can turn their slow start in the Premier League around

FRANK LAMPARD believes his two former sides are England's top two clubs.

Lampard enjoyed 13 years at Chelsea becoming the club's all-time leading goalscorer before spending a season with Manchester City.
Manuel Pellegrini's side currently top the table with Chelsea floundering in 15th place, eight points behind the leaders.
Chelsea's poor start has seen them record just two wins in their opening six fixtures but Lampard knows his former boss Jose Mourinho will set things straight soon enough.

"I know Jose Mourinho and I know the pressure at Chelsea, they want themselves to be challenging every year," Lampard told ESPN FC. "So I think it will be addressed very quickly, if it hasn't already.
"We all have patches, unfortunately, when you have patches at the start of the season, it makes the table look really bad early on but I think they'll change that because they still have the same quality of player there."

The New York City midfielder doesn't think Chelsea's chances of a second successive Premier League title is out of their hand either.
"For me, they [Manchester City and Chelsea] are the two top clubs in England," he added. "They'll fight it out for the title.
"They are the two best squads in the league and I'm very close to both of them so I kind of know what they've got. It's hard for me to call who's going to win it but that's how I see it panning out."
