Lampard's strict regime at Stamford Bridge appears to be working, with Chelsea having enjoyed a fine start to the new season.
Lampard's young squad currently sits third in the Premier League table having won eight of its 12 games so far. In the Champions League, it pulled off shock results against both LOSC Lille and AFC Ajax, leaving it on the cusp of qualification to the knockout rounds of the competition.
