Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has revealed the Chelsea player that will be key if Frank Lampard is to guide Chelsea to Champions League success.

“I was a bit surprised [by Lampard’s return], especially with the way it ended at Chelsea,” Scholes told BT Sport. “His Everton time didn’t go great but you can’t blame Frank, he’s got to take this opportunity.

“There was quite a similar situation with Ole Gunner [Solskjaer]. Ole had a lot more time though to prove himself.

“By the end of the season, they had to give it him whereas now there’s only 10 league games and the Champions League to go, but I think Frank is capable of doing it.

“One thing that’s good for Frank is they have got N’Golo Kante back. He’s only played two games but makes a huge difference to the team. If they can get goals, Chelsea have got a chance.”
