Basking in the glow of Chelsea's comfortable 2-0 win against Liverpool, Frank Lampard believes nothing can now stop the Blues winning the Premier League title.
Carlo Ancelotti's side have been front-runners for much of the campaign, but have had their slip-ups on occasions and needed to avoid another one at Anfield on Sunday to prevent Manchester United going into the final weekend of the season with the advantage.
Achieving that aim thanks to goals from Didier Drogba and Lampard, the midfielder is looking forward to next weekend's final clash with Wigan Athletic.
"We have had a couple of moments in the season when we have not been at our best and the momentum went back to United," Lampard told reporters.
"But in the last ten games or so our performances have been fantastic, so has the attitude of the lads.
"We have got a head of steam up. There is still another game to go but we are in a good position. If you are going to win titles you are going to have these moments.
"Whether it is a crunch moment like yesterday, when we played Liverpool with United playing Sunderland after us, or whether it be a game at home which you should win comfortably. You have to do the job right."
Drogba, the other goalscorer, echoed Lampard's sentiment — but warned that the Blues still have a professional job to do in front of the Stamford Bridge faithful before the celebrations can begin.
"Now we have another game we need to win," Drogba pointed out.
"We have waited for this moment for such a long time but it is not done yet.
"We just need to concentrate on this next game."
