Lampard on Havertz: "I am not talking about Kai Havertz," laughs. "Tomorrow is such a huge game that I don't want to talk about other team's players." #CFC

Lampard on qualifying for the Champions League: "We have to say it was the number one goal at the start of the season, it is the competition you have to have to produce the most consitency. It is a gague of where you as a club and the prestige of being in the UCL." #CFC #LIVCHE

Lampard isn't 100% sure if Pedro-Willian's deal will keep them there for the FA Cup final and Champions League but he thinks they will want to carry on and that he wants them to. #CFC

Lampard says N'Golo Kante is not fit and he says Liverpool deserve their guard of honour. "We go there with huge respect, we have to respect a team that won the league well." #CFC #LFC #LIVCHE

Chelsea face a very difficult or very costly task to sign either Chilwell or Rice. LB key area Lampard wants to improve so the club needs to decide whether to go for another option or wait.
