Premier League: Chelsea’s Frank Lampard Sets Expectations For Upcoming Liverpool Bout

The recent 1-0 victory of Chelsea against Norwich City sets the tone for Frank Lampard’s team in the crucial stretch of the season. With tough opponents coming up, Lampard ensures that the team is ready with everything they have especially in their match against Liverpool.

The manner that Liverpool has played in the Premier League has been dominant as they were recently crowned this year’s champions. Led by players such as Mohammed Salah, Liverpool was able to break a 30-year drought title drought. This makes Chelsea’s future matchup against The Reds even more important given how they’re going against a historic team.

Per Goal.com, Lampard has been focused on the task that’s ahead of them.

"All I wanted to do was make sure we did our job tonight. I felt tonight was about us. We were against a team who has just been relegated. With all respect, here at home if we get our job done at home we get three points and we did do that," Lampard said.

With the Liverpool matchup drawing soon and the Wolverhampton Wanderers slated to face Chelsea after, Lampard emphasized how they have to take things a step at a time.

"When you keep coming up against Liverpool away and Wolves at home - they are just two really good opponents," Lampard shared.

Scorers such as William and Tammy Abraham are key pieces for Chelsea who can lead the team in the succeeding games. With their offensive skills and the proper mindset of the team, Lampard believes his club has what it takes to step up during this time.

“We just have to focus on one-by-one, prepare right and show the right attitude,” Lampard added.

While the veteran manager acknowledges that it will be tough, he believes that the proper focus and character can propel the team to greater heights.

"I don’t want to jump the gun because we have games that will be pivotal to where we actually finish, but if we’d said we’d be third and contesting in the FA Cup and the Champions League, [I'd have been happy]."

The next matchup for Chelsea will be against Manchester United who is coming off a 2-2 draw against Southampton. It will be a perfect opportunity for Lampard’s team to show what they have in them as they endure the tough schedule ahead.
