Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has faith the Blues can again shock Bayern Munich in the Champions League despite their faltering form of late in the Premier League.
A 2-1 victory over Tottenham on Saturday was Chelsea's first win five games in the league to remain in control of the race for the top four and a place in the Champions League next season.
Bayern, though, are favourites to sweep aside Lampard's inexperienced squad and gain revenge for a defeat on home soil in the 2012 Champions League final.
Lampard was part of the victorious Chelsea side that night in Munich and believes he can find weaknesses to hurt the Bundesliga leaders.
"My job is just to prepare the game, look at the opponent, see their strengths, our strengths and see if we can see weaknesses there," said Lampard.
"I understand if people do call us the underdogs because the Bayern Munich team is so strong and if you look at the team, the medals, the experience they have, maybe we do not have that experience.
"But these things are there to change. The underdog is there to turn those things around, those are some of the best stories in sport. I am focused on what it is going to take to win these two matches."
'Form of his life'
==================
"He has a real run at the moment and we hope that he will continue that here in the last 16 against Chelsea."
"Everything about him is top class."
