[LNB] Storming start: The Blues' have taken maximum points from their opening fixtures[LNB]'I don't think we have had an easy start. People say that because we won all our games, but those games were not easy. At Wigan we struggled in the first half but managed to turn it around.[LNB]'City will be a good test to see if we can deal with better opposition. After that it is Arsenal - another big one - so it's a crucial period.[LNB]'It's good that we have already got a four-point lead. It will give us a little advantage, but we have to win these games. We will come out to try and win. Let's see what happens.[LNB]'We won every game against the big teams last year. It made the difference. When you play those teams, the most important thing is not to lose, and try to win the other games. Last year we won them, and that allowed us to make a few mistakes in other games.[LNB]'It's true City were a problem for us last year - they beat us twice,' he told the Daily Express. 'They might be another problem for us this time, but if we win the league at the end, I don't mind.'[LNB] Lampard eyes Man City clash with midfielder set to miss Cup comebackJohn Terry says Chelsea's teenage talents can fire Blues into the future Chelsea's attack is enough to keep you awake at night, says HughtonLeo's London: No-one likes them but Chelsea really do care!CHESLEA FC
