Lampard has scored 100 goals in his past five seasons at Chelsea but looks even more threatening behind two strikers rather than just the customary one.

The midfielder believes he could break his personal best of 21 for a campaign this term due to Ancelotti's new system.

"Playing behind Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka, who make so many runs and moves, causes such a problem for the back four that you can run in behind them," said Lampard.

"People will be so worried about those two that if I make those late runs behind them then hopefully I will get the opportunities to score more.

"I won't be doing tricks behind the front men, that is not the way I play.

"I will probably give a little more defensively to the team than other players do in that position, but at the same time I think I can create and score more than I have done in the past years. I am very happy to play there."
