Chelsea interim manager, Frank Lampard has revealed what the club can learn from Arsenal as they bid to return to the top.
Sportivationng.com reports that Chelsea suffered a 2-0 loss to Brentford last week to leave them 12th on the Premier League log.
The Gunners welcome the struggling Blues to the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night, as they aim to recover from the 4-1 thumping in the hands of Manchester City.
Arsenal failed to finish in the top four from 2016-2022, but they are now in an intense title race with Manchester City.
“There is a long process in terms of getting to where you want to get to. I remember going up against Mikel in that early stage,”
Lampard told reporters ahead of the trip to the Emirates Stadium.
“Sometimes they played five at the back, sometimes four; now they have a clear identity. There has been a lot of work through the team, Mikel, alignment and good recruitment. Do we have the possibility to do that? Yes.
Will it take time and good decisions? Absolutely, yes. But you can get there.
“The manager was being questioned, the players and owners were and that process can take two or three years. They are a great example of that done well.”

Lampard confessed that Chelsea’s players are low on confidence.
“You can only work to get a level of performance to bring confidence back,” Lampard said.
“I’ve been here in moments where confidence has been low because nobody likes losing games. I had moments as a player where we dropped our standards as a collective and we had to lift it.
Khalidou Koulibaly is expected to miss the clash at the Emirates Stadium.
