Frank Lampard is delighted Chelsea have the chance to win the Premier League title at Stamford Bridge.
After both Chelsea and second-placed Manchester United won at the weekend, the Blues remain in pole position to lift the trophy.
With one game remaining, Carlo Ancelotti's side knows they will be champions if they beat Wigan at Stamford Bridge on the final day of the season.
And following their 2-0 victory at Liverpool, Lampard admits having the chance to regain the title at their own ground will be special.
"It would be nice to do it in front of our own fans," he said.
"Obviously Manchester United have a tough game but we'll never go that far (thinking they have already won). We have a big game next week.
"But we knew the Liverpool game was huge for us. We knew if we had dropped points we would have given the momentum to United."
Chelsea have the chance to do the Double for the first time in their history as they also face Portsmouth in the FA Cup final and Lampard admits that adds come extra incentive.
"We've got an FA Cup final after next week so we're very determined," he added.
"We were at a bit of a low point a couple of months ago so credit goes to the players, management and staff.
"We dug ourselves out of that and have pushed on to the brink of doing the double."
