Frank Lampard insists Chelsea are on course to finish in the Premier League’s top four despite their spluttering start to his reign.
Lampard’s side is languishing in 11th, 10 points off early leaders Liverpool, after winning just twice in their first six league matches.
However, they are just three points adrift of fourth-placed Arsenal and level on points with traditional top-six rivals Manchester United and Tottenham.
No, of course not,” Lampard told reporters on Friday that when asked if he was concerned about Chelsea’s prospects of qualifying for the Champions League.
Look at the other teams around us. Arsenal, Man United. We understand we’re in and among it. Having seen the young players, I’m as confident as I was before. We want to be competitive and get into the top four.”
