"There are no plans that anyone is aware of at the moment for Lampard to be Chelsea's next permanent manager, but we've seen this happen in the past. If anyone knows about the demands - and ruthlessness - at Chelsea it's Frank Lampard.

"Things went wrong for him in his final month in charge, but people do forget that he did do a good job as the Chelsea manager in extremely difficult circumstances. If they were to win it, it would be an incredible achievement. He lives close to Stamford Bridge, he's available at the moment and he's been the Chelsea manager before. "Even that experience hasn't changed the way Chelsea supporters think about him.

Lampard could also play a decisive role in the relegation picture, with Chelsea still to play Wolves (A), Bournemouth (A) and Nottingham Forest (H) in their final run of Premier League fixtures.
