Frank Lampard is convinced Manchester City can haul in leaders Chelsea.
Chelsea legend Lampard believes history will repeat itself after an early slump last season and City will dig themselves out of a dark hole to keep the good times rolling.
Lampard said: "I think people can see I've come here with an attitude to work hard and try to do well. If fans see you're willing to work hard they get behind you.
"And while I will always have Chelsea ingrained in me because of the time I spent there and the things I achieved, I think City fans are wise enough to appreciate that.
"It also helps if you can knock in a few goals and help the team win. We'll just concentrate on getting the results we need and I'm confident we will do that.
"The lads proved that last season when they came through a sticky patch with the away form early in the campaign and ended up winning the title."
