Chelsea have staged a pretty dramatic turn around during the last couple of months.
They have gone to being a total liability at the back, to having the best goal difference so far in the Premier League.
Whilst fans and Frank Lampard himself are refusing to get carried away, the signs are looking very good out on the pitch for the team right now.
There seems to be a collective new belief within the squad, and they are playing with a lot more confidence as a result.
The summer signings have been absolutely brilliant and each one of them are proving their worth already.
Chelsea would have been written off as title challengers by the majority of pundits at the start of the season, but this new run of form is forcing a few of them to reconsider.
Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson is one of those, and he believes that Chelsea are now right in the mix to win the title.
He wrote in his latest column:
“If we are going to talk about Tottenham winning the title, then Chelsea are right in the mix. If Spurs can win it, then for sure, Chelsea can win it.
“However, they literally dismantled Sheffield United. They made them look like a proper relegation team, which I don’t see that because I think Sheffield United will be okay this season. They made them look distinctly average and that’s a sign of a good team.
“It’s coming from everywhere too. Hakim Ziyech has got a left foot that can open a can of worms, Timo Werner scores plenty of goals, Tammy Abraham looks like he’s getting better and then there’s Mason Mount. They’ve just got so much attacking talent.”
