Lampard fears for title push

Frank Lampard has voiced fears that the Barclays Premier League title may well be out of Chelsea's reach this season.Guus Hiddink, in charge of the Blues until the summer, has given the side a new lease of life, with three wins on the bounce in the league moving them into second place and within seven points of leaders Manchester United.
However, United - on a run of 11 successive Premier League victories and with a game in hand over their rivals - look unstoppable at the moment and few would bet against them clinching another title.Ahead of a home clash with Manchester City on Sunday, Lampard insists Chelsea will not give up the chase but admits second place may be the best they can hope for.Hiddink has been happy to partner Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba together up front, something Scolari was not prepared to do.The two strikers are starting to hit it off and Drogba looks more like his old self after getting his fitness back following a knee injury that ruined the early part of his campaign.But it is Anelka who has really stolen the headlines this season, according to Lampard.
