FRANK LAMPARD thinks David Luiz looks a player transformed at Chelsea.

Luiz has operated in a back three this season under Antonio Conte.
Having re-signed last summer for a fee of £34million from Paris Saint-Germain, there were doubts initially.
However, he has proved his detractors wrong with some assured displays.
"The main thing that's helped him since he's come back to the club is playing in a back three.
“He can play central, it gives him a lot of time on the ball where his great range of passing can start attacks.
“No one wants to close him down because he's got that nice central role. It's been a major help for him.
“On the defensive side, I think it's given him confidence to not worry about being exposed as he was before.”
