Chelsea, with virtually a whole new team to show off, are confident that the title is there for the taking.

"We are in a different league to last year with the money situation and the players coming in," midfielder Frank Lampard said.

"We've moved on a million miles over the summer. I think this squad can achieve pretty much anything. We're signing new players all the time and all the signings have been good players."

A summer of breakneck transfer activity at the club has seen the arrival of such diverse talents as Adrian Mutu, Juan Sebastian Veron, Joe Cole, Wayne Bridge, Damien Duff, Geremi and Glen Johnson.
