Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti remains hopeful that Frank Lampard will be able to start against Arsenal in the crunch clash at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The 31-year-old midfielder sustained a thigh injury while on international duty and has been sidelined since.

However, 'Carletto' has revealed that the former West Ham United player could make a return against the Gunners.

"He [Lampard] is working very well and trained well today," Ancelotti told Sky Sports.

"He could start the game [against Arsenal]."
