Chelsea is enough to tie Tottenham on issues if they beat Manchester City on Sunday.

Frank Lampard believes that Timo Werner has the quality to hurt Manchester City on his way to Stamford Bridge tomorrow.
He said: “We found low-block groups that were opposed to us in the last era that didn’t break down well enough when we were actually earlier in the season, so there are little changes to that.
“Timo’s attributes can be very tough on the fast break, but there are many things we want in the game as opposed to Manchester City on and off the ball.
“It’s still a massive weapon in this domain, and I think it’s also going to be a massive weapon opposite the low blocks.
“It’s not that I can’t play against it, it’s sharp and can finish, so it’s up to us to put the ball in the right areas. “

“It’s an undeniable job, repetition of finishes, what Timo does now, and when you paint like that, it’s a matter of time.
“His herbal attributes will put him in front of goal, keep him away from defenders and give him opportunities again. The good thing is that he had opportunities because he is positive.
“If your confidence is low due to the absence of a couple, it is herbal and it is my task to help you push it in a positive direction. I feel like the targets will come. “
Chelsea will host Manchester City on Sunday after winning one of their last six matches in all competitions.
