(Reuters) - Arsenal's recent success in the Premier League could provide the blueprint for Chelsea's bid to rebuild after a disappointing campaign, interim manager Frank Lampard said ahead of the sides' meeting on Tuesday.
Chelsea's 2-0 defeat by Brentford last week left them 12th in the standings, stumbling towards possibly their worst campaign since the 1993-94 season - when they finished 14th under Glenn Hoddle - despite their new U.S. owners' huge outlay.
"There is a long process in terms of getting to where you want to get to. I remember going up against Mikel in that early stage," Lampard told reporters ahead of the trip to the Emirates Stadium. "The manager was being questioned, the players and owners were and that process can take two or three years. They are a great example of that done well."
